Following closely in the footsteps of founder Etienne GUIGAL who vinified 67 vintages, Marcel and his son Philippe, deeply rooted in the terroirs of their region, are dedicated, with passion and discipline, to making the finest wines of the Rhône valley. The motto of the Château d’Ampuis “Hard work reaps its rewards” illustrates the family philosophy of quality aimed at achieving the fullest and most consistent expression of the noble Rhône appellations.
