Note di degustazione
Coming from a tiny parcel on the Côte Brune and based on 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier that was aged 42 months in new French oak, the 2021 Côte Rôtie La Turque sports a deeper ruby hue as well as beautiful aromatics of cassis, smoked game, liquid violets, graphite, and charcoal. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and balanced on the palate. It doesn't have the exotic, complex character of the La Mouline yet is slightly more concentrated, has beautiful texture, fabulous balance, and a great finish. I love it today, and it has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. Give bottles plenty of air if drinking any time soon. Drink 2026-2046.

Cold espresso, cedar wood, blackberry and peppery scents of pronounced intensity introduce the dashing 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Turque. Medium-bodied and concentrated, the 2021 is such a splendid La Turque, showcasing cool-toned freshness with outstanding overall drive. One of the finest Côte-Rôties of the vintage.
The 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Turque is highly representative of its terroir despite the challenges of the vintage. Unfurling with aromas of dark fruits, spices, cinnamon, iris and blackberries, it is full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured, with a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a mocha-inflected finish. While it may lack the sheer opulence of sunnier years, it retains impressive depth and authority, and its terroir expression should become even more articulate with time in the cellar.
The medium-bodied 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Turque offers up ripe fruits paired with meaty undertones and a splash of menthol. Vivid freshness marks the seamless palate, wrapped in a refined tannic structure. Ending with elegance on the savory finale, the 2021 is less punchy compared to the 2020 and 2022, yet it presents wonderful purity and expressiveness.
