| Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 32 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fizz on 3/28/2024: Cork. 13% alc.
Double decanted and resealed with the cork 12 hours before serving.
Rich, dark, black fruits mingle with chocolate, sweet dried herbs, graphite. It’s medium to full framed, well balanced, with a swathe of fine tannins. Still rather primary, but opened well in the glass. (256 views) | | | Tasted by In2wines on 2/29/2024 & rated 91 points: Singapore February 2024
Straight out of the bottle, a lot of dark fruit, good texture, quite civilized this Turque and would probally please many ... certainly more than me ... not so oaky as they can be so that was positive ... it drinks ok, but not much more, sorry but competition is tough and there are so many good wines around for less money, this is over priced like the Hermitage La Chapelle, and top Chapoutier, for me it seems like the best Cornas's & best Cote Rotie's have run by these wines .. by far .. or perhaps it's just me getting old ... older :)
Drink 2024-2030 (403 views) | | | Tasted by Krokfjord on 2/3/2024 & rated 95 points: Enkelte notater indikerte at vinen skulle være i overkant ung; vår flaske var luftet ca 2,5 time og var vakker fra start, helt sensasjonell etter en drøy time i glasset. Nydelig floralitet, silkeaktig munnfølelse, mangefasettert rødfrukt som leker i munnen og lar hele rosebedet danse på en kraftfull men elegant kropp. Åpner seg ytterligere de siste 20-ish minuttene i glasset og blir virkelig stor. (550 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 11/13/2023 & rated 94 points: Guigal Cote-Rotie La Turque 2011.
Mørk og heftig - krevende å drikke.
Etter en time i glasset åpner den seg mer og mer.
Utvikler seg til en helt strålende Syrah.
Fortsatt relativt røff struktur.
Bør nok ligge i en 5-10 år til.
Meget lang. 94p (928 views) | | | Tasted by jrh82 on 11/11/2023 & rated 92 points: Still 5-10 years to early. Took 1,5 hours in the glass to come around, but a great wine is sitting there ready to come out one day. (517 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 10/28/2023 & rated 94 points: Glorious Waterside Inn (The Waterside Inn, Bray): Decanted and served. We rarely cross paths with La Las this young, we cherish and save them for older age but every now and then we get these joyful events when we try them youngish. This is now at the start of its drinking window but ever so welcoming and beautiful. Still very much fruit driven but starting to show secondary side and evolution, not heat that full on smoky well evolved La La but still ever so savoury, dark fruited and beautiful wine. Impressively balanced and elegant as expected from the pedigree and terroir. Exceptional albeit at the start of its journey. 94 for now but more to come. (951 views) | | | Tasted by Peter Z. on 1/24/2023 & rated 96 points: still too young, but the potential is clearly there (1637 views) | | | Tasted by ShadowIII on 1/20/2023 & rated 93 points: bacon fat, blackberries, blueberries, spice, more elegant than powerful, balanced (1380 views) | | | Tasted by the player on 1/13/2023 & rated 93 points: Blackish ruby color. Decanted and aerated for an hour then drank over another hour. Nose of blackberries, sweet spices, plums and licorice. On the palate still young but open, medium bodied, lots of forward dark spicy fruits, finishes on a bitter chocolate note with subtle tannins. Very well structured. (1327 views) | | | Tasted by BoxerBee on 12/27/2022 & rated 97 points: Raspberry coulis, meat/blood. Subtle on the nose, superior texture and incredibly well balanced. Great wine. (1294 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 10/16/2022: Guigal w/ Patrick Will: Cote Brune, the schist gives smoke to the wines. Guigal is the only producer of La Turque.
again 42m, 100% new, acquired in 1980 when they bought Vidal Fleury.
there will be a new LaLa in 2022 - La Renard
here, less mushroom than the 2011 La Mouline, with more dark fruit available too (1591 views) | | | Tasted by Ericsson on 9/26/2021: Certainement trop jeune mais autant La Landonne bue il y a une année m’avait enthousiasmé (95) autant La Turque m’a laissé sur ma faim ce soir.
Bouteille ouverte et bue dans de grands verres à Barolo.
Robe carmin, nez réticent plutôt sur des notes herbeuses, florales au mieux, au palais, boisé, puis animal, lard et viande après 3 heures, léger, finit court.
Provenance impeccable comme La Landonne, bouchon aussi, bouteille peut-être problématique et millésime plutôt faible.
On verra ce que La Mouline a à dire..
Pas de notation. (2267 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/19/2021: Wow does that smell great. Tastes meat and powerful with allot of direct acidity. (2416 views) | | | Tasted by ziavino on 4/2/2021 & rated 93 points: Still a baby, and at least 5 years away in my estimation. Even after a 6 hour decant, this wasn't showing off much, with faint notes of black raspberry, black pepper, and smoked brisket not quite firing. The potential is there to fill out. (2324 views) | | | Tasted by faivre_eric on 12/19/2020 & rated 93 points: Fabulous maturity and currently in a great drinking window!
Very elegant, complex aromas of blackberries, sous bois, leather and coffee. Super long finish! (2697 views) | | | Tasted by robferguson1 on 9/22/2020 & rated 93 points: Good but doesn’t match the hype (2724 views) | | | Tasted by fizz on 5/23/2020: Decanted 2 hours.
Aromas leap out. Black cherry, licorice, iron, plum. Silky in the mouth. It’s fresh, concentrated and intense, with good length. Open for business, with lots left for future development. (2228 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 2/9/2020 & rated 93 points: Sommelier Appreciation Dinner 2020 (The Brown Residence): Still way too young. Primary blue fruit, beacon fat, ash, liquid smoke and earth. Very good concentration, slightly coiled blue fruit, medium acidity and mineral, and a long concentrated blue fruit driven finish. Still needs a decade or more. Perhaps the weakest vintage? (3839 views) | | | Tasted by Ebrim on 2/8/2019 & rated 93 points: Short note - black berries, dried meat, violet, game meat, pepper, intense flavour, oak, long finish, concentration and leng is incredible, very well balanced, outstanding quality, 93/94p (4982 views) | | | Tasted by KPB on 9/29/2018 & rated 94 points: Deep ruby... lovely fragrant aromas of red currents, tea, spice cake. Supple and warm, delicious fruit in a velvety robe, fantastic minerality. Really a nice wine, drinking well now, could garner 96-97pts at peak. (5116 views) | | | Tasted by Chenkl on 6/1/2018 & rated 94 points: 十分活潑的莓果與香料，甜美豐腴卻不失架構。單寧恰如其分得撐起骨架。酸度仍強，或可再等。 (5288 views) | | | Tasted by BigJ on 5/26/2018: A bold nose with a deep roasted note, some cocoa and a herbal character that was not present on the palate. It was thick and full bodied and showing very dark fruits. Long already but not showing a lot of dimension yet. I found this quite muted today, but clearly of very high quality. I would hold for a good while yet before opening. (5081 views) | | | Tasted by steinersing on 10/22/2017 & rated 96 points: quite deep, savoury (5115 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 8/20/2017 & rated 94 points: 1967 Dinner with FV and Friends: Very pretty aromas - violets, roses, red cherry and a splash of black pepper across the nose and palate. Really bright on the palate as well, with a great mix of power and precision within the fruit. Classy stuff. Felt like it was quite approachable, but certainly would benefit from more time. (3446 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 5/27/2017 & rated 93 points: Mûre, beaucoup de poivre, finale florale. Beaucoup moins d’élevage que je n’aurais pensé. Il faudra patienter pour les autres bouteilles. (2755 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

A FAMILY HISTORY
Land with 24 centuries of history behind it, worked and preserved by three generations of winemakers with family values at their core and a commitment to an illustrious terrain that produces prestigious wines. This, in a nutshell, is the Maison Guigal. Right from the beginning the motto, “No Pains No Gains” underpins the promise made to Etienne Guigal. A commitment to work together to follow in his footsteps, to communicate the family’s passion and create so many emotions. Today, Marcel and Philippe, along with their wives, are the guardians of this exceptional domain which combines history, devotion and a sense of togetherness. A breath of inspiration for generations to come.
CÔTE-RÔTIE
1
Planted on slopes by the Romans 24 centuries ago, this illustrious vineyard is made up of the Côte Brune, upstream of the Reynard and the Côte Blonde which is downstream. Planted almost exclusively with Syrah, the Côte Brune produces a powerful, intense wine. Thanks to a dash of Viognier which compliments the Syrah, the Côte Blonde is more subtle. There is a charming legend attached to this appellation and the Château d’Ampuis: “the sire of this place had two daughters, one with hair as dark as the night and the other blonde like a field of wheat. When they got married he endowed each with two of his best slopes. This is how we inherited the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde”
CONDRIEU
2
With its steep terraces which plunge towards the Rhône, this vineyard is planted solely with Viognier. A rare grape varietal imported by the Greeks at the beginning of our era, combined with granite soils its naturally complex character produces a unique white wine with a yellow golden hue and intense and subtle notes of delicate apricot and white peach.
SAINT-JOSEPH
3
Enjoyed at the table of kings, this illustrious wine’s name hails back to the 16th Century and the Jesuit monks of Tournon. The reds are made from Syrah and the whites from Marsanne and Rousanne. These grape varieties grown on a South to South East facing steeply sloped vineyard with granite soils produce elegant, luscious wines.
HERMITAGE
4
A prestigious appellation since ancient times, it is named after a 13th Century hermit who sought redemption by devoting himself to prayer and the cultivation of vines. Enjoyed by the Russian Court and the great and the good of Europe, this rich and powerful wine with intense aromas is produced from Syrah for the reds and Marsanne and Roussanne for the whites.
CROZES-HERMITAGE
5
A typical wine of the northern Rhône, Crozes-Hermitage benefits from warm pebbly soils with good drainage. This is a vast appellation partially planted on slopes. The reds are produced from Syrah and the whites from Marsanne and Rousanne. The red wine is deep ruby in colour, full of savoury flavour and well-balanced. The white wines are dry and aromatic with floral notes.
CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
6
These soils are composed of calcareous round pebbles and the vineyards are swept by the Mistral winds and warmed by the Provencal sunshine, resulting in wines with unmistakable flavours of the South. These southern wines are produced from a complex blend of the 13 grape varieties of the appellation with Grenache as the main component. They are complex with soft and powerful tannins and are characterised by a generous and strong personality.Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône)
Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
