94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape" from the vintage 2017 on 01.11.2021 with 94 of 100 points.
"Matured two years in oak foudres, this full-bodied blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah balances piercing black cherry and cassis flavors against a firm structure of fine, penetrating tannins and bright acidity. Richly concentrated yet pristine in fruit, it finishes on a sultry, smoky streak of crushed stone and charred anise. Approachable in youth but likely to improve through 2030 and hold longer still. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Tasted in January 2021, this wine still shows an abundance of sun-kissed, red-plum and black-cherry flavors nuanced by shades of char, crushed earth and smoked cedar. Vibrantly fruity yet statuesque and grounded, it lingers on a flurry of ripe, integrated tannins. Delicious now, the wine will continue to improve through 2030 and hold longer still. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"This bottling from Guigal punches above its weight class with penetrating dried-cherry and raspberry flavors accented by smoke, char, earth and leather. Unctuously full bodied and edged by a rasp of drying tannins, it's a hedonistic but structured wine that should improve through 2030. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Falstaff" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape" from the vintage 2015 on 01.07.2019 with 93 of 100 points.
"Ein vergleichsweise markanter Holzton, röstig, dazu etwas Dörrpflaume und Kräuter. Auch am Gaumen holzgeprägt, dies bei eher mittelgewichtigem Extrakt, hat Saftigkeit und dadurch einen trinkigen Appeal, gut integrierte Säure, der Alkohol bleibt unauffällig im Hintergrund. Ein eleganter, in sich stimmiger Châteauneuf."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2013 with 90 of 100 points.
"Guigal's 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a warm, full-bodied rendering of the appellation, with pronounced notes of clove on the nose, along with hints of cinnamon, cracked pepper and leather. Chocolate and plum mark the palate, while the finish is soft and velvety in texture. It's ready to drink now."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2013 with 90 of 100 points.
"Because of Guigal's practice of extended élevage prior to bottling, the wines are often ready to drink when released. That's certainly the case with this balanced, supple Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It's meaty and chocolaty, with a silky texture and lingering finish. Drink now-2018."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape" from the vintage 2005 on 01.07.2011 with 88 of 100 points.
"A full-bodied and richly tannic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Guigal's 2005 displays dried cherries and prune aromas and flavors tinged with leathery notes. Despite having the tannic intensity to support aging, will the fruit dry out further? I'd opt for drinking this over the next five years or so."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2005 with 86 of 100 points.
"Smells leathery and a bit overripe, with scents of dried fruit outweighing freshness. The leather and dried-cherry flavors linger enticingly on the finish, but show a trace of alcoholic warmth as well. A solid wine, but a disappointing effort from the Rhône's most famous and reliable négociant."
