The estate and the wine |
|
|
A phenomenal winemaking success and a remarkable human story, Maison Guigal has reached a level few can match. With an unrivalled vineyard heritage, they’ve pulled off the near-impossible: producing large volumes without ever compromising on quality or consistency.
From their top single-vineyard cuvées to their prized lieux-dits, every bottle is crafted with precision and care. And their Saint-Joseph Vignes de l’Hospice is no exception — one of the true stars of the appellation, and year after year, among the very best. |

|
| |
|
From a historic vineyard at the very heart of the appellation, the 2022 Saint-Joseph Red Vignes de l’Hospice remains one of the finest wines of Saint-Joseph. In this vintage of perfect ripeness, it reveals itself with generosity and precision, offering a silky texture layered with black fruit flavors, along with smoky, fresh, and mineral notes. The structured ageing brings extra depth and will benefit from a few more years, highlighting the beauty of this dense, velvety wine. A great wine with superb ageing potential — 15 years and beyond. A favourite of the Selection Committee, rated 94/100. |
