The 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Turque is terrific, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices, pencil lead, bay leaf and violet. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s concentrated and multidimensional, delivering controlled power within the firmest—yet most refined—structure of the La-La cuvées (La Turque, La Mouline and La Landonne). It concludes with a long, expansive finish. This will require time in the cellar to reveal all its nuances.

Deep colour. Very ripe on the nose with raisined notes. Gourmand fruit again, the tannins fine but greater length and precision on the finish. ~ (17.5) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 10-25-2021

Classic notes of graphite, spring flowers, blackberries, crushed stone, and smoky oak all emerge from the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Turque. Based on 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier and brought up in 100% new French oak for 42 months, it's round and full-bodied, with incredible depth, richness, and purity. With no hard edges and a concentrated, multidimensional mouthfeel, it strikes a good balance between the upfront, sexy showoff that's the La Mouline and the more reserved, masculine, structured La Landonne. ~ (99) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-9-2025

The 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Turque reveals an intense and intricate bouquet of black pepper, licorice, iodine, mocha, graphite and cedar notes, showcasing outstanding complexity. Full-bodied and deeply concentrated, it shines with refreshing acidity and an ultra-precise balance that maintains a serene sense of harmony. With a long, generous and impeccably refined finish, this is a serious La Turque that's elegant to the core. ~ (98) Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous 1-1-2025

The nose is like what you smell when you enter a spice market in the Far East. Great concentration and underplayed power on the full-bodied palate, but also graceful, the generous dose of toasty oak almost perfectly integrated. Extremely long finish that keeps on pumping out the berry fruit, butter, orange and stone character. Drinkable now, but best from 2027. ~ (98) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-15-2024

A sublime bruiser of a wine, with layer after layer of chocolate-coated cherry and mulled plum. Notes of grilled herbs and apple wood smoke infuse the rich palate, with ample oak that is well-integrated. Nearly glycerol in feel, with power that builds, driven by a spine of iron and well-hewn tannins. Syrah and Viognier. Drink now through 2040. 90 cases imported. ~ (96) Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator 12-15-2024
