Domaine E. Guigal
About Domaine E. Guigal
Domaine E. Guigal was created by Etienne Guigal in 1946 and has since passed to his son Marcel, and grandson Phillippe. Alongside wine-maker Jacques Desvernois (previously of Paul Jaboulet Aîné), the three generations of Guigals have forged one of the world's greatest estates, consistently producing some of the most sought-after wines around the globe.
Standing as one of the world's greatest estates with a long and successful history of producing some of the globe’s greatest bottles. No single winemaker nor family has done as much to craft the fine wine world’s perception of Côte-Rôtie as a truly ethereal appellation as the Guigal. The family has been described as the "reference point" estate in Northern Rhône by Jeb Dunnuck.
Vinicultre
One of Guigal's crowing achievements is the creation of three spectacular and rare cuvées that demonstrate the greatest of Rhone terroir.
Of the three, La Mouline is perhaps the most floral, feminine and seductively elegant. Indescribably silky in its construction. A product of vines with an average age of 75 years old, the scent of La Mouline is as beguiling as any wine – heady violets, flowers, wet slate, exotic black fruits and the darkest espresso imaginable rise unrelentingly from the glass.
La Landonne is a pure Syrah wine – as fine an example of the varietal’s potential as one could ever hope to taste – and often requires the most bottle age to become approachable of the three.
La Turque is the youngest cuvée of the holy triumvirate, both in that it made its debut after the other two and its average vine age is 25 years. Something of a hybrid of the two, La Turque seems to blend the choice aspects of its siblings together into a simply otherworldly wine. Darker and denser than La Mouline, yet less tannic and imposing than La Landonne, the true beauty of La Turque lies in its complexity and inherent ripeness

Like the La Mouline, the 2015 Cote Rotie La Turque comes across as slightly closed—I wouldn't be surprised to see it inch up to a perfect rating in a decade or so. Lashings of ground spices—pepper, allspice, cardamom—are sprinkled over mixed berries, but this full-bodied wine is locked up tight, finishing with firm tannins. Give it at least 5-6 years, maybe even a decade or so, before pulling a cork.Inc. GSTSG$2,052.16 -

Loaded with exotic perfumes of spring flowers and ripe berries, the 2016 Cote Rotie La Turque looks more like the wine I first tasted back in 2017. Medium to full-bodied, it's exquisitely silky and elegant from start to incredibly long finish; while there is ample concentration and a fine, lacy framework of tannins to support the fruit, the tannins virtually melt away into the background, leaving behind lingering notes of salted licorice and mocha. Approachable now, it should drink well for at least two decades.Inc. GSTSG$1,598.74 -

I loved the 2017 Côte Rôtie La Turque, which shows the sunny warmth of the vintage while staying balanced, pure, and light on its feet. Awesome notes of ripe black fruits, chocolate, spice box, and incense emerge from the glass and it’s full-bodied, has building tannins, a weightless texture, and a monster of a finish. This quintessential La Turque will deliver plenty of charm in its youth, yet benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age, and age for 30-35 years as well.Inc. GSTSG$1,360.01 -

The 2018 Côte Rôtie La Turque offers meatier, more savory, mineral-driven aromatics yet has an incredible core of pure cassis and darker fruits. A straight-up massive wine, it has a stacked mid-palate, terrific freshness, and again, a purity of fruit that’s just off the chart. Despite its overall size and richness, it’s weightless and as graceful as a ballerina. It always needs more time to come around compared to the La Mouline and generally starts to drink beautifully a decade after the vintage.Inc. GSTSG$6,103.83 -

The 2019 Côte Rôtie La Turque reminds me slightly of the 2010, which at a recent tasting I thought was the greatest young wine I had ever tasted. The 2019 reveals a saturated purple hue as well as insane aromatics of bloody blue and red fruits, roasted meats, iron, ground pepper, and graphite, with perfectly integrated background oak. With full-bodied richness as well as a deep, layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, it has building tannins, flawless balance, and a finish that won't quit. This is an absolutely legendary Côte Rôtie in the making. It deserves 7-8 years of bottle age and will see its 30th birthday in fine form.Inc. GSTSG$1,835.24 -
