Château La GURGUE
Red

Totally surrounded by classified growths, La Gurgue enjoys a privileged terroir, and the attentive care of Mrs Villars (also owner of Ferrière, classified growth of Margaux, and Haut-Bages-Libéral, classified growth of Pauillac), voted Winemaker of the Year 2024 by La Revue du Vin de France. Certainly the best quality/price/pleasure ratio in the appellation.

Revue du Vin de France : 90-92/100 « Ce petit cru appartient à Claire Lurton qui y produit un vin de plaisir, gourmand, qui peut se consommer sur son fruit. Très digeste, fin et souple. »
Le Point : 15/20 « Floral, pivoine, cerise, bouche douce, élégante, gourmande, tanins soyeux, touche épicée. »
Galloni : 89-91/100 « The 2023 La Gurgue offers very good depth but is less expressive aromatically than it often is. Strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections lend plenty of character. There's a bit of tightness in the tannins that suggests heat stress may have been an issue. I am very interested to see what elevage does here. »
Martin : 89-91/100 « The 2023 Clos Floridène Blanc has a lively and well-defined bouquet with yellow fruit, Granny Smith and light stony aromas. The palate is fresh and crisp with grapefruit and orange rind notes. It's a little pithier than its peers, with a slightly resinous finish. Fine. »
