Sourced from a premium private cellar, this bottle exemplifies the estate’s commitment to authenticity and superior quality, making it a benchmark for refined Rhône wines.

The 2015 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest in recent history, benefiting from near-perfect climatic conditions that allowed grapes to achieve optimum ripeness and concentration. This translates into a wine of remarkable depth, structure, and longevity.

The palate reveals a harmonious balance of velvety tannins and lively acidity, delivering a rich, layered experience with persistent length. The wine beautifully expresses the unique terroir of Côte Rôtie’s steep granite slopes, reflecting a marriage of power and elegance that defines this prestigious region.

Critic Scores

Powerful aromatics packed with blackberry and black cherry liqueur, crushed stone, smoke, licorice, coffee, crème de cassis and vanilla get your attention. This thick, viscous, flamboyant wine is a head turner. Silky, polished and richly textured, the finish is packed with layers of perfectly ripe, pure blackberries. I love this style of wine! - Jeff Leve

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

E. Guigal's Ex Voto Hermitage sources exclusively from select parcels within Hermitage, exploiting the region's renowned granitic and limestone soils on steep south-facing slopes of exceptional character. The 2015 vintage arrived after a warm, dry growing season producing phenologically mature Syrah with excellent colour extraction and tannin ripeness throughout maturation. The terroir's natural vigour, combined with the vintage's relative abundance of ripeness, resulted in wines of powerful expression and considerable structure. Guigal's meticulous parcel selection ensures only the finest and most appropriate fruit enters the Ex Voto cuvée for production.

Vinification

Hand-harvesting targets full phenolic maturity whilst scrupulously preserving the vintage's natural acidity balance. Traditional fermentation in large wooden vats employs extended maceration techniques, typically lasting three weeks or more, systematically extracting maximum colour, tannin, and aromatic complexity from the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine enters a sophisticated oak programme utilising new French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months of élevage. The élevage builds textural refinement and progressively integrates wood character into the wine's powerful core. Further bottle age precedes release to market.
