E. Guigal

Guigal has long been synonymous with excellence and renown in the Rhône Valley, and its iconic wines are recognized around the world for their exceptional quality and distinctive character. Founded by Étienne Guigal in 1946, this family-run business has managed to pRéserver a remarkable winegrowing heritage and pass it on from generation to generation.

Among Guigal's signature wines are those of Côte-Rôtie, an appellation that represents the very essence of Domaine. Côte-Rôtie is famous for its steeply terraced vineyards, schist soils and continental climate. The resulting red wines are elegant, powerful and complex. Guigal offers several Côte-Rôtie cuvées, including the famous "La Mouline", "La Turque" and "La Landonne". These wines are refined expressions of Syrah, with seductive aromas of black fruits, spices, violets and licorice, as well as a remarkable tannic structure. They are renowned for their ability to age for many years, developing additional complexity and depth.

Another iconic Guigal wine is Hermitage, a prestigious appellation located on a hill overlooking the town of Tain-l'Hermitage. Hermitage vineyards produce red wines of great distinction, from the Syrah grape variety, as well as elegant white wines, based on Marsanne and Roussanne. Guigal's Hermitage red wines are renowned for their concentration, tannic structure and aromatic complexity. They feature intense aromas of black fruit, spice, licorice and truffle, as well as impressive length on the palate. Guigal's Hermitage white wines are... See more ...

Description E. Guigal La Turque 2016.

This is a côte rôtie wine exclusively and a blend of Syrah and Viognier grapes whose vines are planted partly on the côte blonde and partly on the côte brune.

The wine is aged in new barrels for 42 months.

La robe is brilliant ruby red

On the nose and palate, the wine is powerful with spicy notes. A remarkable symphony of greedy red berries between Morello cherry and blackberry with a hint of blackcurrant. The tannins are finely chiselled.

Dining and wine pairings: sumptuous with leg of lamb, coq au vin or Ventoux truffle stew. Perfect on small autumn game with Hamburg muscat grapes. Unforgettable with red fruit tarts.

Bottles should be stored in a dark cellar. It is generally accepted that aging for 30 years is potentially possible. Regular tastings will therefore be necessary to measure its qualitative peak.

Tasting is done at room temperature with decanting the day before, the time to let it breathe to penetrate the olfactory and gustatory richness of this exceptional wine.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
