GUIGAL'S SUPERLATIVE SINGLE VINEYARDS
AN INSTANT TASTING OF AN INCREDIBLE DECADE
I remember very clearly my first experience with the single vineyard wines of Guigal. I was careening down the Rhône valley in an old Alfa Romeo, breaking hearts like empty bottles as I went. I stopped for lunch at a small bistro not far from Guigal's most famous vineyards. As I ate my poulet rôtie and sucked down a bottle of simple Cotes-du-Rhône Villages, I struck up a conversation with the proprietor of the bistro, who happened to be a collector of Guigal single vineyard perfection. He led me down into his cellar, where he introduced me to his collection. We drank and talked, him about his wines and me about my life. I told him that I had traveled the world, and that Antarctica was the only continent I had yet to visit. I inquired as to whether he had traveled. What he said to me, I found very telling. "No," he said. "I don't feel any need to travel. Wherever I go, I will just have to return, for nowhere else are there the vineyards of La Landonne, La Turque, and La Mouline." CA
The wines featured in the following lot are the property of a distinguished French gentleman, who stored these wines over the years in a European cellar. The bottles were hand carried across the Atlantic and delivered to the Christie's warehouse specifically for this sale. All of the levels and conditions are pristine.
