E. Guigal Chateau d'Ampuis Cote-Rotie 2018
E. Guigal Château d’Ampuis Côte-Rôtie 2018 is produced from 7 plots of the domaine: Le Clos, La Garde, La Grande Plantée (all from the Côte Blonde), and La Pommière, Le Pavillon Rouge, Le Moulin and La Viria (all from the Côte Brune). It is the traditional Côte-Rôtie blend, 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier. The vines are cropped to low yields and given a long hang-time, with the expressed aim of achieving perfectly ripe fruit, with sweet tannins and concentrated flavours. Like all of Guigal's Côte-Rôtie wines, the key factor in the winemaking is extended élevage in new oak barrels; their wines have such concentration to handle this treatment. Lesser-quality fruit would not cope with their barrel regime. This wine spent 38 months resting in new oak barrels. The resultant wines of this domaine are both delicious and profound.
The Chateau d'Ampuis is a marvel signed by the E. Guigal house. The 2018 vintage of Château d'Ampuis is a wine whose nose gives off aromas as diverse as they are powerful, dominated by black fruits such as cherries, then notes of toasted vanilla take over. On the palate, the attack is woody with powerful tannins, volume and impressive richness.
What makes the uniqueness and grandeur of this magnificent wine is, among other things, its composition of 7 exceptional terroirs from the Côte Blonde (Le Clos, La Garde, La Grande Plantée) and the Côte Brune ( La Pommière, Le Pavillon Rouge, Le Moulin) and La Viria very sparse plots.
The average age of the vines is 50 years, they extend over approximately 8 hectares for an average yield of 37Hl / Hectare.

E. Guigal Chateau d'Ampuis Cote-Rotie 2018是由該莊園的7個葡萄園產出的：Le Clos、La Garde、La Grande Plantee 以及La Pommiere、Le Pavillon Rouge、Le Moulin和La Viria。這是傳統的Cote-Rotie混釀，93%為Syrah和7%為Viognier。葡萄樹的收穫量較低，並經歷了長時間的成熟期，旨在獲得完美成熟的果實，帶有甜美的單寧和濃鬱的風味。與Guigal的所有Cote-Rotie葡萄酒一樣，釀酒的關鍵因素是在新橡木桶中進行長時間的陳釀；他們的葡萄酒具有足夠的濃度來承受這種處理。較低品質的果實無法適應他們的桶式陳釀。這款葡萄酒在新橡木桶中陳釀了38個月。該莊園的葡萄酒既美味又深刻。
Chateau d'Ampuis是E. Guigal酒莊的傑作。 Chateau d'Ampuis 2018年的葡萄酒有著多元而強烈的香氣，以黑色水果如櫻桃為主，後續出現烤香草的味道。口感方面，入口帶有濃鬱的單寧和令人印象深刻的豐富度，帶有濃鬱的木質味。
這款美妙葡萄酒的獨特和宏偉之處，其中之一是它由來自Cote Blonde（Le Clos、La Garde、La Grande Plantee）和Cote Brune（La Pommiere、Le Pavillon Rouge、Le Moulin）以及La Viria這些非常稀有的葡萄園組成。
葡萄樹的平均年齡為50年，總面積約8公頃，平均產量為37公升/公頃。
