E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone '22

Marcel Guigal's Côtes du Rhône is arguably the world's most famous value Rhône — aged 18 months in oak foudres (far longer than any competitor at this price) and built around 50% Syrah rather than the typical Grenache. The 2022, from an extremely hot and dry Rhône vintage, is concentrated and intense with dark cherry, licorice, black pepper, and a long, structured finish. A remarkable bottle for the price
