2009 Côte-Rôtie La Turque, Etienne Guigal

2009 Côte-Rôtie La Turque, Etienne Guigal

Ref: GUIG091
Red  |  Still  |  13.5% ABV

Etienne Guigal worked for the firm of Vidal Fleury in the early 20th century, but after WWII set up his own wine company and in 1984 Guigal bought Vidal Fleury in a sort of reverse takeover. Guigal now vinifies 40% of all wine made in Côte-Rôtie, along with many, many wines from other communes in the Rhône Valley. More recently, Guigal has further expanded, buying the Château d'Ampuis in 1995 and installing their own cooperage. 

*N.B. This wine is sold lying in bond in Octavian. Redistribution charges are the responsibility of the purchaser*

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

"Both the 2010 and the 2009 continue to blow me away every time I taste them, and to me, these represent the pinnacle of Cote Rotie—albeit in very different styles. Every bit as good as the 2010, the 2009 Cote Rotie la Turque is a flamboyant and sexy Cote Rotie that’s loaded with notions of smoked meats, blackberries, blackcurrants, beef blood and espresso roast. Thick, unctuous, hugely concentrated and long, it’s a heavenly wine I guarantee will put a smile on your face anytime over the coming 2-3 decades." Jeb Dunnock

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
