Product description

The 2019 'La Turque' from E. Guigal is a renowned wine from the Côte-Rôtie appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley, crafted primarily from Syrah with a small addition of Viognier from the esteemed La Turque vineyard. This vintage masterfully reflects the terroir, blending strength with elegance.

Colour: Deep ruby red with intense, dark tints indicating high concentration.

Aroma: Richly aromatic with small red fruits, blackberry, and morello cherry, complemented by savory nuances and mineral undertones.

Palate: The palate opens with a supple, balanced structure showcasing concentrated cassis and darker fruits. The wine maintains remarkable freshness, a mid-palate depth, and refined tannins.

Body: Full-bodied yet graceful, with a weightless quality on the palate.

Finish: Long and harmonious, repeating mineral and floral notes on a chewy, extended finish.
