Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'Ampuis 2018 is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Guigal estate in the Northern Rhône Valley of France. The wine is a blend of Syrah and Viognier grapes, with the latter contributing to the wine's floral and aromatic character.

The 2018 vintage was marked by a hot and dry summer, leading to small grape clusters and intense flavors. The wine was aged for 38 months in oak barrels before being bottled.

On the nose, Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'Ampuis 2018 presents aromas of black fruit, violets, and smoked meat. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins, black cherry, and blackberry flavors. The wine has a long and complex finish, with notes of spice and vanilla from the oak aging.

This wine pairs well with hearty meat dishes such as beef, lamb, and game. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for further aging.
