Vinepair columnist Ed Deitch highlighted Guigal’s vibrant Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2019 in his most recent write up. In addition to differentiating this style from those produced in Provence, Deitch notes “this is serious rosé. It’s a departure from all those “fun” rosés that are marketed as easy-drinking lifestyle wines.” He adds, “Guigal’s Côtes du Rhône Rosé almost demands a food context — full-flavored fish, jerk chicken, even grilled leg of lamb are among the possibilities.”
He offers more in depth tasting note details, but this description helps you almost imagine drinking it: ” Light copper in color, this is a relatively full-bodied rosé with aromas and tastes that suggest spicy strawberry, raspberry, and orange zest, as well as flowers, white pepper, and minerals, followed by a slightly creamy overlay on the long finish. ” Read his full review HERE
