"A rough diamond with pronounced notes of spices and black fruits... One of the estate's crown jewels!"

“The 2021 Côte Rôtie La Turque has a bit more density and body than La Mouline, which is more open. It features a deep ruby-purple color, notes of smoky blackcurrant and black fruits, violet, and peppery, fleshy nuances, a medium- to full-bodied palate, impressive depth on the mid-palate, and ripe, polished tannins. This is an early-developing La Turque that should shine after just 4 to 5 years of bottle aging and be enjoyed brilliantly over the next decade or more.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024). • All orders of this wine will be shipped in individual wooden cases (excluding the “Pickup Point” delivery method).

Rated estate (2023 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

Marcel and Philippe Guigal jointly lead the successful family business, which since 2017 has expanded significantly in the south, to Châteauneuf-du-Pape (77 hectares of owned vineyards), supplemented in the spring of 2022 by the 100 hectares of Château d’Aquéria. And, as always, the estate boasts a rich portfolio of vineyards in Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and Hermitage. Wine enthusiasts can savor some of the valley’s greatest vintages, not to mention the brilliant Côtes-du-Rhône—in all three colors—and Tavel, Philippe’s favorite wine.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100

About the wine:

This wine is very aromatic and reminiscent of the La Turque rose, with characteristic notes of star anise, nutmeg, and cinnamon, partly due to the oak. It is relatively light in body and concentration this year, but it has a nice sense of freshness. There are more charcoal and spice notes on the finish, along with a hint of vanilla bean. This year, the tannins are actually quite light and very refined. There’s no trace of astringency; it’s refined and clean. It will be ready to drink relatively early—this isn’t a vintage with great aging potential. Low alcohol content. Sample tasted early in its long maturation in 100% new oak barrels.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

In addition to its “treasures” in côte-rôtie, Hermitage, and Condrieu, the Guigal estate owns two beautiful plots in Saint-Joseph: the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard, which gave its name to the appellation, and the Vignes de l’Hospice, planted on a very steep granite hillside—a site already identified by the monks of the Hospice de Tournon—with a geological formation similar to that of the famous Bessards hill in Hermitage.

5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)

About the estate:

An iconic figure of the northern Rhône, Marcel Guigal is both a major wine merchant and a prominent winegrower. In the latter capacity, he cultivates famous vineyards in Côte Rôtie, such as La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne, not to mention La Doriane in Condrieu. A tireless worker with an insatiable intellectual curiosity, he succeeded his father, Etienne. Philippe Guigal, an oenologist representing the third generation, continues the family legacy alongside his father, maintaining this dual focus on estate winemaking and wine trading. Winemaking for the northern appellations takes place entirely in Ampuis.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The most iconic winery in the northern Rhône Valley needs no introduction. Under this umbrella, we bring together the wines from our own vineyards, which we thus distinguish from our wine merchant operations. This includes the famous trio from the “ Côte-Rôtie ”: La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne; the first two are brand names, while the last is a registered terroir. Added to these are the Château d’Ampuis cuvée and the Condrieu La Doriane. In addition to these star wines, there is the Vignes de l’Hospice cuvée—a Saint-Joseph situated on a magnificent terroir—as well as several premier plots in Hermitage from which the Ex-Voto cuvée is produced. Marcel Guigal is strongly supported by his son Philippe, who seems to be gently shifting the style of the wines, with aging practices that strike us as slightly less dominant. Needless to say, all these wines are built for long-term aging.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 17,5+/20

About the wine:

A lovely violet aroma with an iron-like character. A generous fruity core—sweet red berries and spicy notes. Toasty oak envelops the sweet fruit core with a granite-like grip of tight, very firm tannins and a peppery note on the salty finish. This wine clearly has beautiful aromas and significant oak that needs to integrate, but it shows great promise.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 93-95/100

About the wine:

Côte-Rôtie The 2021 La Turque, a medium-bodied wine, offers ripe fruit combined with meaty notes and a hint of menthol. A lively freshness characterizes the palate, enveloped by a refined tannic structure. Finishing elegantly with a savory aftertaste, the 2021 is less forceful than the 2020 and 2022 vintages, but it displays wonderful purity and expressiveness.
