Chateau La Gurgue 2021

Weinwisser: "54 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 % Merlot, 19 % Petit Verdot. Betörendes Bouquet, verführerischer Iris-Duft, frischer Rosmarin, Heidelbeergelee und Schattenmorellensaft. Am straffen Gaumen mit weicher Textur, vibrierender Rasse und engmaschigem Tanningerüst; asktischer Körper. Im gebündelten Finale blaubeerige Konturen, dunkles Graphit und fein körniges Extrakt. So gut habe ich diesen Margaux noch nie zuvor verkostet, Potentialwertung!"

Suckling: "A juicy and earthy red with rich soil aromas and flavors. Medium to full body with ripe and round tannins and a slightly chewy finish. Attractive. 54% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot and 19% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification."

Galloni: "The 2021 La Gurgue is a deep, almost shockingly potent, wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice hits the palate. This flamboyant, generous Margaux is sure to find many admirers. The 2021 is naturally still coming together, but it is hugely promising. The tannins just need a bit of polish here."

Decanter: "Damsons and plums on the nose - so aromatic. Softly ripe with a lovely succulence, mouthwatering strawberry juice and red cherry nuances. Softly gripping tannins. Finesse, but also a bite and spiced edge from the Petit Verdot. This has such a backbone, really quite linear and direct with tension but also excellent freshness and mouthwatering liveliness. Lovely mintiness that is so abundant, really filling the mouth with eucalyptus. A great effort in 2021."

Falstaff: "Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Dezente Kräuterwürze, rotbeerige Nuancen, zart floral, frische Kirschen, mit Orangenzesten unterlegt. Mittlerer Körper, zart nach Ribiseln, gut integrierte Tannine, lebendig, unkomplizierter Begleiter bei Tisch."
