北隆河之王《Guigal》酒廠是法國隆河區最受推崇的酒廠之一。它的三個Cote Rotie單一葡萄園紅酒產品,歷年來曾經獲得酒評家Robert Parker給予20幾次100滿分的評價,是全世界酒迷們夢幻銘酒。不過本酒廠最令人欽佩的地方,在於從高階到基本款都可以生產出品質優異的產品。基本款產品Côtes du Rhône隆河丘紅酒由各個契約酒農提供的原料葡萄釀製,Guigal不惜以隆河區最高的採購價格購入原料葡萄以確保品質。它採 15-21 天浸皮發酵的傳統釀造法,在大型酒槽內熟成一年之後,挑選最優良的酒桶混合而成,不合格的酒則被淘汰販售給其他酒商。

The 2020 Cotes du Rhone Blanc is even more floral and expressive than usual, fresh and vibrant, with a touch of ripe apricot flavor as well. It's medium to full-bodied, plump, silky-textured and long on the finish. Drink it over the next couple of years.
