La Turque is Guigal's flagship single-vineyard expression of Côte-Rôtie's masculine power—one of the famed "La La" trilogy that defined the northern Rhône. The 2006 spent roughly forty-two months in new oak, building structure and depth without overwhelming the wine's essential character. Explosive iron and crushed rock aromatics open into smoky dark fruits, charred notes, cassis, and leather. Full-bodied with perfect balance and massive underlying tannin structure, this wine rewards those patient enough to cellar it further. Built for a 25-30 year evolution.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"Bright ruby. Pungent dark berry and cherry-vanilla aromas are complemented by anise, pipe tobacco and black cardamom. Smoky cherry and blackcurrant flavors are deep and nicely focused, with building tannins and a seductively sweet quality. Shows more power than the La Mouline but less finesse. Finishes on a lively, bittersweet cherry note, with outstanding persistence and lingering elements of spice and smoke." -Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Possessing more acidity and obvious structure than the 2007, the 2006 Cote Rotie La Turque offers ample notes of charred meats, blackcurrants, cassis, saddle leather and spice. Still inky purple in color, with a straight, focused, lengthy style, give this full-bodied beauty another 2-3 years of cellaring and enjoy over the following two decades or more." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Brilliant crimson and very, very Syrah nose. Marcel suggested it smelt of griottes cherries. This seemed to be tightening up. In Late Oct 2009 it seemed a little bit less luscious than La Mouline but it had a very confident line and direction and good attack."

Wine Spectator

WS 96
"This pulls together grip, minerality and fruit, with charcoal and espresso laying the foundation, supporting crushed plum, fig sauce and mulled currant fruit, which then gives way to a vibrant, iron- and tobacco-filled finish that leaves a mouthwatering feel. Very impressive."
