On the steep, roasted slopes of Côte-Rôtie a splash of the white grape Viognier is co-fermented with the Syrah, lifting the wine with floral scent and a savoury, bacon-fat edge. Hermitage is darker and more tannic, built to age for twenty years or more, while Cornas is pure Syrah at its most brooding and wild. These are savoury, peppery wines with real backbone.

Guigal Côte Rotie, 2003","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Turque 2003 from E. Guigal is one of Côte-Rôtie’s most sought-after wines, known for its depth, precision, and remarkable complexity. This iconic Rhône red combines Syrah with a touch of Viognier, a signature blend that gives the wine both power and elegance, and has helped define Guigal’s reputation on the steep granite-and-schist slopes of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a deep, concentrated garnet color with mature edges reflecting its age. The bouquet is layered and expressive, often unfolding with black fruits, violets, smoked meat, licorice, truffle, and spice, with the Viognier contributing a subtle floral lift.\n\nOn the palate, La Turque is famously dense yet refined, with velvety tannins, ripe dark berry fruit, savory mineral notes, and a long, structured finish. The 2003 vintage has the concentration and warmth to drink beautifully now, though well-stored bottles can continue to evolve gracefully for years, gaining more earth, leather, and tertiary nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Turque comes from a prized single vineyard in Côte-Rôtie, where very steep terraces of schist and other rocky soils create ideal conditions for low-yield, high-concentration fruit. The site benefits from excellent sun exposure, helping Syrah reach full ripeness while preserving the region’s signature freshness and minerality. Harvesting is typically done by hand due to the extreme slopes, and vinification follows E. Guigal’s meticulous, traditional approach with extended aging in small oak barrels to build texture, depth, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine for richly flavored dishes such as roasted lamb, venison, duck breast, beef tenderloin, or game with herb and pepper seasoning.
