E. Guigal Cote-Rotie La Turque 2020

This red wine from Côte-Rôtie, France, is made from the Syrah grape variety. Vintaged in 2020, it offers a perfect combination of power and elegance. From the Guigal house, this wine embodies all the know-how and passion of this prestigious house. With a deep color and complex aromas of black fruits, spices and violet, it seduces with its richness and depth on the palate. The fine and silky tannins offer a velvety texture and a long, tasty finish. A high-quality wine, ideal to accompany red meat or game dishes. With its exceptional qualities, it will enhance precious moments and special occasions.

The 2020 Côte Rôtie La Turque reminds me of the 2018 with its pure, seamless, full-bodied, and elegant profile. Blueberries, smoked meat, scorched earth, graphite, and black cherry notes all show on the nose, and it’s full-bodied, has a concentrated, powerful mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a seriously good finish.” 12/22 97-99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck: “The 2020 Côte Rôtie La Turque comes from a single parcel in the Côte Brune lieu-dit and offers a more dense, massive, mineral-laced style as well as a gorgeous nose of dark fruits, cured meats, chocolate, and a liquid rock-like minerality. It stays light on its feet and wonderfully balanced, but the cellar is going to be your friend.
