embodying the values
of the Guigal FamilyIf the richness of Maison Guigal's identity results from the combination of strong values, it is the family spirit that predominates. The future project must embody this family philosophy in Châteauneuf-du-Pape while translating the prestige of its wines through an authentic and contextual architectural typology.
The objective of the Guigal family is to reveal the exceptional potential of the Nalys estate through two axes of transformation: the revaluation of the vineyard and the construction of a real production tool.
a sustainable building,
reflecting a long-term visionThe notions of heritage and transmission are essential for the Guigal family, whose wish is to leave to future generations an architectural heritage that is long-lasting, solid and adaptable.
The Nalys estate is an old vineyard, with an average age of fifty years. The planting of a vine today will have a production project in thirty years at the earliest. It is in this long time, imposed by the rhythm of nature, that the Guigal family wishes to inscribe its construction project. A building with a timeless character, in the image of the great wines it produces.engage in a state-of-the-art environmental approach
The Guigal family's wish is to make the building as energy self-sufficient as possible. The estate targets temperature requirements very precisely and relies on architectural rather than technological principles.
For example, burying part of the programme will limit the use of technology and ensure consistency and inertia that will benefit the wine. Intelligent design will minimise energy costs and use the most energy-efficient technologies. On-site energy generating and saving devices are strongly encouraged, but must be integrated into the site.
