No less than 15 perfect scores of 100/100 from Robert Parker a total unequalled by any other producer anywhere testify to the extraordinary quality that the Guigals achieve, year in, year out. At the same time, the Guigals produce 3 million bottles per year of

6 Page 6/6 delicious and well-priced Cotes du Rhone, which allows a wider public to share the Guigal experience. Despite the size and success of the operation, Guigal remains a family company, with all vineyard and cellar work overseen on a daily basis by Marcel Guigal and his son Philippe, while wife Bernadette ably runs the office. This hands-on, artisanal approach explains why every bottle that carries the name Guigal is worthy of the enormous reputation of the estate.
