Where power and refinement converge in Côte-Rôtie
- La Turque is among Côte-Rôtie's most celebrated vineyard parcels, with schist-rich soils and ideal south-facing exposure. This terroir yields wines of considerable depth and layered complexity, hallmarks of the finest Northern Rhône expressions.
- The judicious addition of Viognier to Syrah creates distinctive aromatic complexity. Delicate floral notes—particularly violet—provide elegant counterpoint to the Syrah's structural power, a signature of Guigal's refined approach.
- Imposing tannin structure and harmonious balance grant this wine the capacity to age gracefully for decades. Cellared properly, it will evolve dramatically, revealing new dimensions as primary fruit yields to tertiary complexity.

In the mouth
Powerful and well-structured, with firm yet silken tannins. Ripe dark fruit (blackberry, cassis), leather, spice and truffle meld with refined violet and dark chocolate notes. Long, mineral-driven finish of considerable intensity
On the nose
Intense, layered bouquet: dark berries (blackcurrant, plum), white pepper and smoke, leather and truffle notes, with subtle violet and floral nuances from the Viognier component
On the eye
Deep purple robe, nearly black, with garnet highlights
Breeding
Aged for 42 months in new oak barrels, imparting vanilla and toasted aromas with exceptional structure to the wine
Domaine Guigal's La Turque stands amongst the Rhône Valley's finest achievements. Power and elegance marry seamlessly in a wine of genuine complexity and refinement. Dark fruit, spice and floral aromatics dissolve into a velvety texture supported by substantial yet integrated tannins. Splendid with game, braised red meats and truffle-based dishes. This is a serious cellar wine, capable of developing gracefully across several decades.

Le Domaine Guigal signe ici l'un des grands classiques de la Côte-Rôtie. La Turque 2018 est un vin de puissance et d'élégance, né d'un terroir de schistes exceptionnels. Syrah et Viognier s'y marient pour offrir une complexité aromatique rare : fruits noirs intenses, épices, fleurs subtiles et minéralité persistante. À table, il accompagne les viandes rouges en sauce, le gibier et les plats truffés. Un vin de garde majeur.
