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 2017.

The E. Guigal La Turque 2017 is an exceptional wine that embodies the power and finesse of the Côte-Rôtie terroir.

Composed of 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier, this vintage comes from vines around 25 years old, grown on silico-limestone soils rich in iron oxides, giving this cuvée remarkable depth and aromatic complexity.

Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by a 4-week maceration and automatic punching down, to Extra extract all the richness of the fruit. Extended ageing for 40 months in new barrels gives the wine subtle aromas and a silky structure, while preserving the elegance and finesse characteristic of the cuvée.

Deep ruby-red in color, La Turque 2017 reveals a complex nose, blending aromas of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), delicate spices, woody and floral touches, with a fine minerality.

On the palate, the attack is velvety, followed by a dense, balanced structure, with silky tannins supporting a long, elegant finish, marked by notes of cocoa, liquorice and leather.

This wine has exceptional cellaring potential, and can be kept for many years, well over 20. Served between 16 and 18°C, it goes perfectly with refined, tasty dishes such as roast game (venison, wild boar), herb-flavored rack of lamb or mature cheeses like Beaufort. These pairings will bring out the aromatic richness and silky texture of this 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.
