E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2003

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2003 is one of the great single-vineyard expressions from the northern Rhône, crafted from a classic blend of 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier. Sourced from the prized La Turque plot on Côte Brune, it combines power, finesse, and remarkable aging depth, with the kind of concentration and complexity that has made Guigal’s LaLa wines legendary among collectors.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this wine shows a deep ruby color with impressive intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, offering black cherry, blackberry, violet, liquorice, roasted coffee, and subtle smoky notes. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe dark fruit, beautifully integrated alcohol, and silky tannins that give the wine both structure and elegance. Long and persistent on the finish, it leaves behind notes of kirsch, spice, and dark chocolate. This is a wine with outstanding aging potential, and while already showing beautifully, it can continue to evolve for many years.

Viininvalmistus
La Turque comes from a revered parcel on Côte Brune, where schist and iron-rich soils lend the wine its mineral backbone, firm structure, and aromatic depth. The grapes are hand-harvested, co-fermented, and then matured for around 42 months in new French oak barrels, a long élevage that adds polish, complexity, and age-worthy structure while preserving the character of the site.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a superb partner for richly flavored dishes such as roast lamb, game, braised short ribs, duck, or grilled beef with peppery sauces. It also works beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for several hours is highly recommended to allow the wine to fully open and show its breadth and nuance.

Tuottaja
