Côte-Rôtie, La Turque--Vintage 1988
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
Bin-soiled labels
Tasting note: La Turque is the newest of the Guigal single vineyard wines. While like La Landonne, it is from the Cote Brune, its character represents a synthesis of La Mouline and La Landonne. The vineyard is on an extremely precipitous slope (a 60 degree gradient), but unlike La Mouline, it is not an old vineyard. The vines were only planted in 1981.
La Turque may include 5-7 Viognier. Neither as tannic nor as muscular as La Landonne, it is frequently as concentrated. It can be as compelling as La Mouline. A wine of enormous richness and character, it can be drunk young but also possesses 20-25 years of longevity. Like La Mouline, it exhibits smoky, black-raspberry aromas, but there is always something more kinky, more expansive, and even sweeter about its taste. It is an impressively endowed, majestic wine. Based on the vintages produced since its debut in 1985, La Turque may be the most enthralling and complex of the single vineyard Guigal Cote Roties. The Wine Advocate Issue 84. December 1992
