Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Guigal, formally tablissements Guigal, is a winery and n gociant business situated in Ampuis in the northern part of the Rh ne region in France. Guigal produces wine from appellations across the Rh ne region, but is particularly noted for their C te-R tie wines and played a pioneering role in improving C te-R tie's international reputation. Guigal's single vineyard wines La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque (sometimes referred to collectively as "La La's") are internationally renowned. In 2007, the release of the 2003 vintage of Guigal's "La La" wines set the record for most expensive release of any Rhone wine, with bottles retailing for as much as $800. Guigal was established in 1946 by tienne Guigal, who had worked for Vidal Fleury for 15 years before setting up his own business. It has been managed by his son Marcel Guigal since 1961. In 1984, Guigal bought Vidal Fleury but continues to operate it as a separate business.
