La Turque 09

A name that needs no introduction, The Guigal Estate was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, a small ancient village and cradle of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. With the third generation now at the helm, Guigal is not only a leading producer in the area but one of the most well-known and beloved names amongst wine lovers.

With just a hint of Viognier in the blend, La Turque marries the power of the Cote Brune and the subtlety and roundness of the Cote Blonde. The wine bursts with red fruit, blackberry and morello cherry aromas that are powerful yet elegant. Concentrated and incredibly balanced, this wine is already approachable but has a great potential for ageing.
