E. Guigal吉佳樂是法國Rhone Valley產區內一座極富傳奇色彩的名莊,3款旗艦佳釀以“三劍客(LA LA LA )”聞名於世,迄今共30次獲得了Robert Parker Team的滿分評價,彰顯了酒莊得天獨厚的風土條件和高超一流的釀酒技藝,被眾多葡萄酒愛好者所津津樂道。不到百年,酒莊就迅速成為當地巨頭與標杆,當中激蕩著Guigal家族三代人的才華與赤誠。
欲窮千裏目,更上一層樓,這是酒莊創始人Etienne Guigal所懷抱的信念。1924年,年僅14歲的他來到北羅訥河谷的Cote-Rotie產區,開啟人生新篇章。彼時的Cote-Rotie籠罩在一戰的陰影下,2千多年的輝煌葡萄酒史已成過去,種植杏子的經濟效益要遠大於葡萄,不少葡萄園地因無人打理而遭荒廢。起初,Etienne就在杏園工作。
According to legend, around the year 650, a dove led Saint Nivard, who was walking in the hills, to the spot. After it finally came to rest on a beech tree, Saint Nivard, guided by the bird's mysterious flight in which he recognized God's divine will, decided to found the Abbey of Hautvillers there.
From 1668, Dom Pierre Pérignon brings the abbey to light by imagining a remarkable wine.
The Abbey of Hautvillers is located on one of the most beautiful sites in Champagne: overlooking the valley, it is surrounded by an amphitheater of vineyard-covered hills.
The serene, austere beauty of the Abbey and the spiritual legacy of the place continues to inspire the creative vision of Dom Pérignon today.
All creative processes have their constraints. Dom Pérignon's constraint is the Vintage: Dom Pérignon can only be produced from the harvest of a single year.
Dom Pérignon's ambition is to bear witness to each year, whatever the challenges may be.
Dom Pierre Pérignon dares to put itself on the line, to take risks, to go as far as accepting that it will not declare the vintage.
Dom Pérignon's creative legacy is this reinvention of its work with each vintage.
Dom Pérignon Vintage is the culmination of the elaboration and creative processes. It embodies the vision.
Dom Pérignon Vintage expresses itself fully in its three dimensions:
The year: the character of the seasons
The Plénitudes: evolution by successive windows of expression on the way of the long maturation on lees.
The colour: White or Rosé.
These three dimensions are inseparable, and no combination is quite like any other. Each has its own space and time. As such, Dom Pérignon can only be the sum total of all past Vintages, and those yet to come.
The assemblage is the foundation of the Dom Pérignon style. It is guided by timeless principles that
have always taken precedence over winemaking techniques and their evolution.
Dom Pérignon can only be made from a blend of grape varieties and terroirs: our goal has always
been to create an enhanced whole with ever-more tension, rhythm, completeness and complexity.
Dom Pérignon is striving for an ideal.
The assemblage of Dom Pérignon is a perfect balance of black and white grapes.
The paradox of opposite and complementary elements of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir create vibration and tension.
Etienne用心經營著自己的夢想,為酒莊奠定了基礎,然而,不幸的是,1961年,他突然間雙目失明,那時,他的接班人Marcel Guigal年僅17歲,自此,Marcel成為父親的眼睛和臂膀。父親對葡萄酒的熱愛以及羅訥河谷的土壤深深地滋養著Marcel,年紀輕輕的他在葡萄酒領域展現出無比的才能。
Dom Pérignon is designed to be confronted with time. Both the White and – remarkably – the Rosé
are widely recognized for their impressive maturation potential.
A triumph of non-oxidation and the mystery of maturation on the lees (of the yeast, which makes it effervescent), the wine goes through slow, subtle metamorphoses. The style of Dom Pérignon is perfected. This slow maturation is the price that has to be paid to make Dom Pérignon stand out as one of the most complex of all wines.
It takes no fewer than eight years in the cellar before Dom Pérignon expresses its first plenitude.
Vincent Chaperon, set off to explore the Champagne region, joining Moët & Chandon in 1999. Inspired by these vineyards in more northern climes, he gradually developed a strong attachment to the region, putting down his own roots in a new terroir. He decided to stay and deepen his knowledge of the vineyards and local winemaking techniques, forging a personal aesthetic of champagne.
In 2005 Vincent Chaperon joined Dom Pérignon. His meeting with Richard Geoffroy proved decisive, the beginning of a thirteen-year apprenticeship during which the two engaged in an ongoing dialogue with one and other, and with nature, nurturing a mutual understanding anchored in confidence.
The passing of the baton took place on January 1, 2019 when Vincent Chaperon became Chef de Cave of Dom Pérignon.
La Landonne和La Turque都坐落於Cote Brune內,土壤顏色深,多為含鐵礦的片岩和石灰岩黏土,出品的葡萄酒風格強勁,分別孕育了E. Guigal La Landonne, Cote Rotie和E. Guigal La Turque, Cote Rotie。
“三劍客”的成功除了要歸功於Cote Rotie的非凡風土,Marcel也發揮了極大的作用。在葡萄酒的釀造上,Marcel如同是大藝術家,知道怎麼“培育”一款佳釀,知道如何捕捉葡萄酒的精髓。他在用桶方面頗有心得,其葡萄酒通常會在橡木桶中陳年較長時間。帕克曾這麼評價Marcel:“在我過去26年走訪的酒莊和釀酒師中,從未見過任何一個人像Marcel Guigal般對品質如此狂熱。”帕克還曾感歎世上沒有其他人如Marcel 一樣,深刻懂得葡萄酒培養的藝術。也許真正赤誠的釀酒師,從來不愁知己。

欲窮千裏目,更上一層樓,創始人Etienne的信念深深感染著家族其他人。Marcel不僅要讓世界再次發現羅第丘,更重要的是,要讓越來越多的人感受到Rhone Valley的魅力。
80年代初,Marcel購入了父親曾經的老東家Vidal-Fleury,與E. Guigal分開運營。1995年,Marcel又買下了著名的Chateau d’Ampuis。這座城堡棲息在葡萄園間,俯瞰羅訥河,與Cote Rotie的悠長歷史緊密相連。據說這裏是Marcel父母初次相遇的紀念之地,他將其裝修一番,成為E. Guigal的總部。
1997年,Marcel迎來了強有力的幫手——他的兒子Philipe Guigal。父子同心,其利斷金,他們順利將Rhone Valley更多頂級葡萄園購入囊中,實力不斷壯大。除了Cote Rotie外,這些葡萄園還涵蓋Hermitage、Crozes-Hermitage、Saint-Joseph和Condrieu等Rhone Valley子產區。在這些產區內,E. Guigal所產佳釀同樣精彩,常被視作標杆。例如,酒莊在Condrieu的E. Guigal La Doriane, Condrieu就淋漓盡致地展現Viognier的傾城之色,仿佛是Rhone Valley上的黃色寶石。
Guigal家族還有另一個身份,那就是酒商。除了生產酒莊精品酒,Marcel父子還對外收購優質葡萄,以釀制物美價廉的Rhone Valley大區級佳釀。這些品質有保障的大區級葡萄酒如窗口一般,讓愈來愈多的人認識繼而欣賞Rhone Valley這個不凡之地。“我對Guigal家族有著無限的敬佩,他們有能力產出百萬瓶廉價的Rhone Valley大區級佳釀,冠絕Rhone Valley,又有一系列產自Rhone Valley最好產區的精品紅、白和桃紅。”帕克如是說。
2006年,因對推廣Rhone Valley作出突出貢獻,Marcel Guigal被評為《Decanter Man of the Year》,謙遜的Marcel將這份榮譽與全體Guigal家族成員共用。
當下,Guigal家族仍在擴張自己的Rhone Valley葡萄酒“帝國”。他們在總部設立了制桶車間,自給自足,嚴格控制橡木桶的品質。2017年,Guigal家族收購教皇新堡Chateauneuf-du-Pape古老酒莊—Domaine de Nalys,此舉標誌著E·Guigal正式進軍Southern Rhone Valley的精品葡萄酒市場。
