The important French wine trading house(Négociant) E. Guigal, headquartered in Ampuis, is located in the north of the Rhône wine-growing region. It was founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal (1908-1988). His son Marcel Guigal took over the management in 1971. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of the region, who made a significant contribution to improving quality. Marcel Guigal also became internationally recognised in the mid-1980s with the highest ratings from wine journalist Robert M. Parker. Today, he is counted among the best winemakers in the world. Philippe Guigal, Marcel's son and grandson of the founder, has been running the family business since 1997.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
