Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

In contrast to the more exuberant, exotic La Mouline, the 1999 Côte Rôtie La Turque is classic Côte Brune with its still youthful ruby hue as well as incredible aromatics of darker fruits, scorched earth, smoked meats, graphite, and pepper. It picks up an incredibly classic bacon fat-like nuance with time in the glass and is full-bodied, flawlessly balanced, has polished tannins and incredible concentration. It's another jaw droppingly good, heavenly wine from one of the world's greatest estates.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The E. Guigal estate, a jewel of the Rhône Valley, has been anchored in Ampuis since its founding in 1946 by Étienne Guigal. On these lands where vines have flourished since Roman times, a long family history has been written. Marcel Guigal succeeded his father in 1961, breathing new life into the estate, notably through the acquisition of Vidal-Fleury. Today, Philippe Guigal represents the third generation, perpetuating the family legacy with passion and precision. From the cellars of Ampuis, the E. Guigal estate crafts the finest northern appellations with extreme care, without overlooking a few southern gems. Côte-Rôtie holds a place of honor, with its iconic single-vineyard cuvées—true benchmarks such as La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque—not to mention the Château d'Ampuis and the famous Brune et Blonde de Guigal. Guigal's talent is also expressed in the Condrieu appellation with La Doriane, as well as in Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, and of course, the essential Côtes du Rhône. A family saga dedicated to the excellence of Rhône Valley wines. Among the most sought-after cuvées are E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline, E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, and E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque, which serve as essential references for understanding the identity of the house.
