Côte-Rôtie La Turque

E. Guigal is one of the most notable wine producers in the Rhône Valley. It was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis – where the headquarters remain to this day – on the western banks of the Rhône river, a stone's throw from the famous sun-roasted slopes of the Côte Rôtie, and Guigal's flagship wines, the famous "LaLa"s: La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque.

La Turque comes from vines with an age of up to 75 years old. Spends around 42 months in new oak before release and is dense and aromatic.

Smoky, meaty, dense, full, concentrated, tannic, energetic and loaded with thyme, deep, fresh, red berries, olives, herbs, pepper and stone, this demands patience. But as all lovers of La Turque, it's worth the wait.
