Guigal and Their Iconic La La Wines
The ascendance of Côte-Rôtie to the pantheon of the world’s most rarefied wines can be credited largely to Etienne, Marcel and Philippe Guigal. Today they own 10 percent of Côte-Rôtie’s vineyards, and their empire has expanded to many other Rhône regions. Our cover story explores their legacy and their plans for the future.
Plus, tasting reports on the Rhône and Washington state, a deep dive into Irish whiskey and more.
