Where power and elegance converge in the glass
- La Turque represents one of Côte-Rôtie's most distinguished parcels. Its schistose soils and optimal south-facing exposure yield wines of considerable depth and structural complexity, hallmarks of Guigal's finest expressions.
- The addition of Viognier to Syrah creates an aromatic sophistication rarely encountered. Delicate floral notes—particularly violet—provide counterpoint to the Syrah's inherent power, creating a wine of genuine refinement.
- Possessed of imposing tannin structure and exemplary balance, this wine develops gracefully over decades. Patient cellaring reveals the spectacular evolution characteristic of the finest Rhône reds.

Breeding
Aged for 42 months in new oak barrels, imparting vanilla and toasted aromas with exceptional structure to the wine
On the eye
Deep purple-garnet robe, almost black at the core, with luminous rim gradation
On the nose
Intense and layered bouquet: dark fruits—blackberry and plum—interwoven with spice, smoke and leather. The Viognier contributes subtle floral notes, particularly violet, adding aromatic complexity.
In the mouth
Powerful and architecturally sound. Firm tannins support a silken texture. Flavours of ripe dark fruits, leather, spice, truffle and black olive meld with violet and dark chocolate notes. The finish is long, mineral-driven and impressively sustained.
La Turque stands amongst the Rhône Valley's greatest achievements. Here, power and elegance achieve genuine synthesis, delivering a complex, refined drinking experience. Dark fruit, spice and floral aromatics dissolve into velvety texture with substantial yet integrated tannins. Ideal with game, red meat in sauce, or truffle-based dishes. A wine of considerable cellaring potential—a masterwork for serious collectors of fine Rhône reds.

COTE-ROTIE
Le Domaine Guigal, maison de référence de la Vallée du Rhône depuis 1946, signe avec La Turque un vin de prestige issu d'une parcelle historique de Côte-Rôtie. Cette cuvée allie la puissance minérale de la Syrah à l'élégance florale du Viognier, offrant une structure tannique ferme et une finale persistante. À servir avec des viandes rouges en sauce, du gibier ou des plats truffés, c'est un vin de garde à apprécier dans sa jeunesse ou à conserver plusieurs décennies en cave.
