2012 E. Guigal Côte‑Rôtie La Turque
Grapes and Vinification
93% Syrah and 7% Viognier are said to give La Turque its well-known balance. The 2012 vintage received 98 points from Parker and Wine Spectator.
- Syrah – known for dark fruit and structure
- Viognier – adds finesse and delicacy
- Fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks, maceration for over 4 weeks, followed by 40 months of aging in new French oak barrels
Terroir and Origin
Côte‑Rôtie, Rhône, an area prized for its steep slopes and sun-drenched hillsides:
Soil: Silica-limestone and chalk-rich soils in Côte Brune give the wines their minerality, structure, and depth
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Dark berries (cassis, blackberry), toasted herbs, chocolate, cured meats, and black pepper; notes of graphite and pencil lead, reflecting Bordeaux-like aromas
- Taste: Full-bodied and concentrated with a deep core, intense berry and chocolate flavors, elegant spice, and licorice
- Mouthfeel: Satin-smooth tannins, fresh acidity
Serving and Food Pairing
Serving temperature: 16–18 °C (decant 1–2 hours before serving)
- Grilled beef or game (venison, wild boar) – complements the tannins and power
- Slow-roasted lamb with rosemary
- Mature cheeses such as Comté or Valeggio – harmonize with the tannins
- Recommended for ambitious menus and serious wine enthusiasm
