Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Coming from a tiny parcel on the Côte Brune and based on 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier that was aged 42 months in new French oak, the 2021 Côte Rôtie La Turque sports a deeper ruby hue as well as beautiful aromatics of cassis, smoked game, liquid violets, graphite, and charcoal. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and balanced on the palate. It doesn't have the exotic, complex character of the La Mouline yet is slightly more concentrated, has beautiful texture, fabulous balance, and a great finish. I love it today, and it has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. Give bottles plenty of air if drinking any time soon. Drink 2026-2046.

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.
