Rhône lovers, this evening is for you!

Join us for a unique gastronomic experience in the company of Philippe Guigal, Managing Director and winemaker of E. Guigal in Ampuis. A leading figure of the Northern Rhône, the house is renowned worldwide for its legendary single‑vineyard wines known as the iconic “La‑La‑La” trilogy.

You’ll also enjoy a front‑row seat for the arrival of a fourth jewel joining this celebrated lineage. Alongside La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque, a brand‑new cuvée makes its debut: La Reynarde, presented for the very first time in Québec at this exclusive event. The evening will also showcase other outstanding wines from some of the Rhône Valley’s most prestigious appellations, including Condrieu, Hermitage and Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape. Reserve your seat to witness this milestone moment in the history of the estate while enjoying privileged exchanges with Mr. Guigal.

Rhône Valley, from north to south

Rhône is one region with two very distinct cepages. Here’s a quick look at what makes its wine so unique.

Côtes du Rhône: A greener future

Along its eponymous river, the Côtes du Rhône appellation area draws gourmet and expressive wines from its exceptional terroir. At the heart of this region, a movement is taking place, inhabited by a desire for a greener vineyard and to pay it forward!
