Guigal Ex Voto Rouge is not made every year. Guigal Ex Voto rouge is a stunning wine. Polished, rich, soft, round and deep, this mineral driven wine is filled with layers of dense ripe, black fruit, spice, earth and stone. The 2003 Guigal Hermitage Ex Voto tasted recently was mind blowing!
To produce the wine, Guigal Ex Voto rouge receives some of the same deluxe treatment utilized in Cote Rotie. Guigal Ex Voto is aged in 100% new, French oak barrels for 30-36 months before bottling.
Over the years, Guigal has decided to reduce the amount of time the wine spends in barrel, hoping to add more freshness and less of an oak influence to the wine.
Spicy, cedary and firm, the 2015 Ermitage Ex Voto is built tough, like the granite it comes from. Hints of pencil shavings and crushed stone accent mixed red and black fruit, picking up hints of licorice and pepper on the long, tannic finish. Give this another 5-6 years in the cellar, then drink it over the following decade and a half or so.

This is a very powerful, sweetly spiced and complex Hermitage with hung meat and very ripe dark berries, delivered amid iodine and dark stones, as well as a core of rich mulberries and blackberries. The palate has an extremely impressive and succulent feel with such intensity and deeply ripe, long, plush tannins. Gossamer smooth finish and long, rich dark-plum flavors. Best from 2025.
