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 1999.

E. Guigal La Turque 1999 is a gem from Domaine Guigal, expressing the power and elegance characteristic of the Côte Brune, with a touch of finesse inherited from the accents of the Côte Blonde.

Made from 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier, this wine comes from 25-year-old vines planted on silico-limestone soil enriched with iron oxides, giving this cuvée a unique aromatic depth.

Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with automatic punching of the cap, followed by a 4-week maceration. The exceptional 40-month ageing in new barrels accentuates the wine's richness and complexity.

Its intense ruby-red color with dark highlights heralds a deep, refined nose, blending ripe red fruit (Morello cherry, blackberry), oriental spices, smoky notes and delicate floral aromas.

On the palate, the attack is supple, giving way to great concentration balanced by silky tannins. The assertive expression of terroir translates into a powerful structure, remarkable fullness and a long, persistent finish with notes of cocoa, leather and liquorice.

This long-ageing wine (over 20 years) has now reached perfect maturity.

Served between 16 and 18°C, it is ideal with sophisticated dishes such as pigeon stuffed with foie gras, herb-crusted rack of lamb or roast wild duck with black cherries, highlighting its aromatic complexity and velvety texture.

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.
