Oui une parcelle dans la Côte Brune.

La Turque is from a specific parcel of vines within the Côte Brune, with a soil made up of flint, shale, and iron oxide. The vineyard is close to
Ampuis in the heart of the appellation, and covers 1 hectare (about 2
acres). Only 4,000–5,000 bottles are produced. At the beginning of the 20th century, the wine made from these vines was one of the most sought-after in all France. The owner sent all of the production to the Elysée Palace, the official residence of the French president. But the heavy taxation inflicted in the 1930s literally drove the owner mad. The government seized the property and sold it to Vidal-Fleury, then the largest domaine in the Rhône.

Etienne Guigal began working for Vidal-Fleury in the early 1940s, before establishing his own domaine in 1946. In 1980, Vidal-Fleury asked Guigal to manage the replanting of the vineyard, which he did in 1981; then in 1984 he turned around and bought Vidal-Fleury. The rest is history. Philippe Guigal once told Steve Tanzer that his three favorite La Turques were 1985, 1988, and 1991; remember that the 1985 was made from four-year-old vines! He also said that the Guigals like to call La Mouline “the blondest of the blondes,” La Landonne the “brunest of the brunes,” and La Turque “the blondest of the brunes.” When it comes to women, I prefer brunettes; but after this weekend I can safely say that when it comes to Côte-Rôtie, this gentleman prefers blondes.

Est-ce que tu as une source sur ça car Parker parle de La Turque comme d'un "single-vineyard". Et on mentionne à plusieurs endroits que le vignoble de 1h a été acheté à Vidal-Fleury.
