Guigal produces more Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde than any other producer of the appellation. The Brune et Blonde often spends up to three years in small oak casks and is always a blend of purchases from approximately four dozen small growers with his estate fruit. There are about 45,000 cases of this cuvee, which generally contains 8 10% co fermented Viognier. The 2006 exhibits notes of raspberries, sweet cherries, bacon fat and roasted herbs in a medium to full bodied, fleshy, relatively mature and delicious style. Already complex, it is best drunk over the next decade. 91 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
