Chateau La Garde Pessac-Leognan Bordeaux
Description: This will appeal to the traditionalist. Ch. La Garde by name, and vin de garde by nature, reassuringly dense and concentrated, but in good balance with ripe, healthy fruits. Showing some maturity, the fruit is now moving from its youthful notes to a more mature expression of plums and raisins. Classic Graves on the palate with round, mature tannins, ripe fruits and a lovely finish. Château La Garde is a medium-sized property with 47 hectares of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The Cabernet-dominated red wines are soft, well structured and packed with smooth, ripe fruit which makes them very attractive young, though they also possess good medium-term cellaring potential. The wines of Pessac-Léognan have become markedly better over the last ten years largely due to vastly improved viticultural and vinification techniques and a determination and dedication of quality-driven producers to produce the best possible wines. The gravel-rich soils are similar to those found in the Médoc and the red wines possess a distinctive mineral quality which makes them stand out from other clarets. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £259.28
