Description
Guigal is the pioneer of the "single vineyards" in Côte Rôtie. From his three most famous vineyards "La Landonne", "La Mouline" and "La Turque" come the most sought-after and famous wines of the world. The Guigal story starts in 1924, when Etienne Guigal starts working in the cellars of Vidal Fleury as a 14-year-old. By 1946 he has been cellar master for some time and he thinks it is time to set up his own company. This happened in Ampuis, located in the heart of the Côte Rôtie appellation. In 1961 son Marcel joins the company. He is currently in charge of Guigal and his son Philippe, 3rd generation, is responsible for the production process of the wines. Guigal makes "simple" winemaking ingenious. They work completely organically in the vineyards, use low yields and there is no intervention in the cellars. In short, they work with respect for nature and passion for wine. In addition to the "La, La, La" wines, Côte Rôtie "Château d'Ampuis", Condrieu "La Doriane" and L'Ermitage "Ex Voto" are some other crown jewels of the domain.
When E. Guigal bought the La Turque vineyard in 1980, the vineyard had to be largely replanted. This makes La Turque the youngest of the three LaLa wines. In terms of robustness, however, it is between La Landonne and La Mouline. It is made from 93% syrah with 7% viognier planted on the steepest of all of Guigal's Côte-Rôtie vineyards with gradients of up to 70%! It matures for 42 months in new French oak and has a maturation potential of 25 years. Decanting three to four hours in advance is recommended.
In the nose, the Cote Rotie La Turque has notes of espresso, raspberries, pepper and cedar. The wine is full-bodied and complex with a beautiful depth. The Côte-Rôtie "La Turque" is one of the showpieces of Domaine GUIGAL. A powerful wine with spicy notes, its terroirs of côte brune with "blonde accents" give it a great elegance.

Maison E. Guigal is a winery with a great reputation. The company was founded in 1946 and is now three generations old. Founder Etienne Guigal strongly determined the current identity of this producer. Before setting up his own winery he collected his first experiences with the producer Vidal-Fleury. Marcel Guigal and his son Philippe are now in charge of the company. The latter is responsible for winemaking and thus follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, who experienced no fewer than 67 vintages.
Guigal is located in Ampuis, just 38 km south of Lyon. Here it has 60 hectares of land in the Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf du Pape, Tavel and Gigondas appellations. The Guigals are now also the owners of Domaine de Bonserine and Vidal Fleury. Since 1995, Guigal has managed the company from the famous Château d'Ampuis. This castle dates from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 16th century.
The wine magazine Decanter named Marcel Guigal in 2006 "Man of the year." Renowned wine guide Guide Hachette takes it one step further and calls Guigal "the best winemaker in the world." Robert Parker also has deep respect for Guigal. The top wines of this producer regularly receive the highest score of 100 points. The 'La La' wines are special. These come from the 3 top locations 'La Turque', 'La Landonne', and 'La Moulin'.
