1996

Guigal is a renowned winery located in Ampuis, in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley. With a history dating back to 1946, the winery is known for producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of the region.

Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 1996 is a classic example of the quality and finesse that this winery is known for. This wine is a blend of Syrah and a touch of Viognier, offering complex aromas of black fruits, violets, licorice, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with rich and concentrated flavors of blackberries, smoked meats, and pepper, supported by velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish. This wine is drinking beautifully now but has the potential to age gracefully for many more years.
