The French négociant E.& M. Guigal was founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal in Ampuis, a small village in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. Étienne oversaw 67 wine vintages in the Côte-Rôtie. His son Marcel Guigal took over management in 1961 and made a significant contribution to improving quality. Marcel Guigal became internationally known in the mid-1980s thanks to the highest ratings from wine journalist Robert M. Parker. He is considered one of the best winemakers in the world.
