In Ampuis, the two-thousand-year-old cradle of Côte-Rôtie, Maison E. Guigal has built one of the most respected signatures. Exceptional single-parcel wines, masterful whites, cuvées for cellaring: discover here the range of a family estate that has thrived on the great Rhône terroirs since 1946.
Iconic creations of the Rhône
The legendary trilogy: La Mouline, La Turque, La Landonne
Three hectares of vines, three monuments. La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne embody the pinnacle of Côte-Rôtie and rank among the most sought-after wines in the world. Born on the steep slopes of the Côte Blonde and the Côte Brune, aged for nearly forty months in new barrels, these exceptional Syrahs combine rare power and finesse. La Mouline seduces with its silky velvet, La Landonne with its density, La Turque with its balance.
A trio becomes a quartet with the new addition: La Reynarde
Guigal's Côte-Rôtie La Reynarde officially joins the legendary "La La La" trio (La Mouline, La Landonne, La Turque), forming a quartet from February 2026. Sourced from a 1.5-hectare plot in the Fongeant lieu-dit, this 100% Syrah cuvée takes its name from the "Le Reynard" stream that separates the Côte Blonde from the Côte Brune. Aged for 40 months in new barrels like its "sisters", it sits between the finesse of La Turque and the power of La Landonne.

Château d'Ampuis: a new expression of Côte-Rôtie
A blend of seven elite terroirs spread across the Côte Blonde and the Côte Brune, Château d'Ampuis distils all the expertise of Maison E. Guigal. Syrah and Viognier unite in a wine of great nobility, marked by deep black fruits, smoky notes and a dense texture. Thirty-eight months of ageing in new barrels give it remarkable breadth and considerable cellaring potential.
A complete collection combining prestigious reds and whites
Beyond its confidential cuvées, E. Guigal offers a range of rare consistency, accessible and true to its signature. The Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde, the red and white Hermitage, the silky-textured Condrieu and the Ex-Voto cuvées in Ermitage provide a complete panorama of the great northern appellations.
E. Guigal: three generations at the summit of the Rhône Valley
Since 1946, excellence as a legacy
Founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal, the Rhône house has been built on the patient work of three generations. Marcel Guigal turned it into a global benchmark through his mastery of barrel ageing. Philippe Guigal, an oenologist trained in Dijon, now perpetuates this family legacy. The acquisition of Château d'Ampuis in 1995 sealed the estate's historic anchorage in its home appellation.
In July 2017, Maison E. Guigal acquired Château de Nalys, marking its entry as a wine-growing proprietor in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. To learn all about this property, dive into our article "Château de Nalys: the imprint of E. Guigal in Châteauneuf-du-Pape".
Two slopes, one shared genius of place
Ampuis is home to a vineyard celebrated for centuries, where the vines cling to dizzyingly steep granite terraces. The Côte Blonde and the Côte Brune, two hillsides with distinct soils and exposures, give rise to Syrahs of incomparable typicity. This sense of place flows through every E. Guigal cuvée, from the Côtes du Rhône to the single-parcel crus. A mineral, finely chiselled terroir shaped by unwavering exigency.
Patience as a philosophy
Hand harvesting, carefully tended old vines, sustainable disease management: the Rhône house cultivates its parcels with respect for living things.
In the cellar, precision reaches its peak with an in-house cooperage established in 2003, producing 800 new barrels each year from French oak. The greatest wines can be aged for up to three and a half years before bottling. Complete mastery, from vine to bottle.
