About this wine
E. GUIGAL La Turque, Cote-Rotie
Côte-Rôtie La Turque is sourced from the fringes of the Côte Brune, tussling with the whiter edges of the Blonde for dominant geological pickup across a confluence of schist, clay and limestone. Here, there is more weight, intensity, less Viognier and assertive tannins that build steam across a rich finish nourished with beef bouillon, lilac, star anise and spiced charcuterie. Yet the fruit touches each side of the red and darker spectrums. A Janus that looks one way while glimpsing the other. This is the paradox that defines the complexities at the heart of the world’s greatest wines.

Now that it's in bottle, the 2014 Cote Rotie La Turque has exceeded all of my earlier expectations. It's got those classic Côte Rôtie elements on the nose of smoked bacon, olives and violets, seamlessly entwined with supple tannins and raspberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky and fine, showing tremendous length and complexity on the finish. On this occasion, La Turque came to the head of the class as the most approachable, exciting and elegant of the three La Las.

Super-charming perfume here. Plenty of sweet spice and very fragrant, lifted, lighter red berries, white pepper and mocha. The palate has immense, rich, dark plums, boysenberries and black cherries with a super-fleshy core of ripe, red-plum flavors. Smooth tannins build to a firmer finish, it simultaneously offers commanding power with extreme finesse. This has a lot on offer but really needs some more time to settle in. The pick of the “La La” trio in 2014! Try in 2022.
