The 1991 La Turque behaves as if it wants to be the northern Rhone's answer to Richebourg and Musigny. However, with the exception of Domaine Leroy, you cannot find a Richebourg or Musigny with the richness and complexity possessed by this awesome wine. The saturated dark purple color is followed by a wine that is surprisingly lighter in the mouth than its great flavor intensity and rich extraction would suggest. It is a winemaking tour de force in that Guigal has been able to cram phenomenal levels of fruit, complexity, and richness into this velvety-textured wine without causing it to taste heavy. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2015. Last tasted 6/96.

Whenever I have the luck to drink some La Turque, I always think of the first time I tasted the wine. It was with Marcel Guigal at the restaurant La Pyramide in the Rhone Valley. He had just released the first vintage: 1985. Even he was amazed by the quality of the wine and it was from young vines. The wine has been amazing ever since. The 1991 Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque is a slightly less known beauty. Most people think of 1989 or 1990 from this period as superb. But 1991 is wonderful. I drank it last night with friends at Balthazar in New York City. This is phenomenal with smoke and spice and meaty character with ripe dark fruits. Full and velvety. Round and delicious. Great.

Complex and concentrated, this shows toast and vanilla oak flavors balanced by plenty of plum, berry and licorice notes; dense and long. Drink from 1998.--Guigal Cte-Rtie vertical. TM

Domaine Guigal
Trois générations de la famille Guigal ont cultivé ces terres en Côte-Rôtie, vieilles de 24 siècles. Producteur vedette de la partie septentrionale du Rhône, le Domaine Guigal doit sa création en 1946 sur la commune d’Ampuis à Etienne Guigal. Son fils Marcel a repris les rênes de la maison en 1961, agrandissant les vignobles familiaux par la suite, et contribuant à rehausser la réputation de l’entreprise. En 2006, il a été nommé « Homme de l’Année » par le magazine Decanter. Aujourd’hui, son fils Philippe assume le rôle d’œnologue au sein du domaine. La marque E. Guigal englobe un éventail assez étendu de vins rhodaniens car, hormis son statut de premier producteur de Côte-Rôtie, la maison intervient aussi en tant que maison de négoce, achetant des raisins pour élaborer certaines de ses cuvées. Ses trois sélections parcellaires de Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne, La Mouline et La Turque, modèles de qualité constante en rouge, jouissent d’une aura internationale. E. Guigal propose aussi toute une panoplie d’autres références, dont l’Hermitage, dense et concentré, le St. Joseph, tout en finesse, et les illustres Condrieu, pour ne citer qu’eux.
