Note di degustazione
The 2021 La Gurgue has an open nose with slightly savory black fruit, wet clay and touches of chalk coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins on the entry and moderate depth, but the finish feels a little smudged—it needs to muster a touch more clarity and address some bitterness. Give it a couple of years in bottle.

The 2021 La Gurgue is a bold, juicy Margaux endowed with tons of fruit presence and plenty of immediacy. Succulent dark red cherry, blood orange, spice, mint and tobacco all meld together. La Gurgue is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so.
Containing an unusually high 19% Petit Verdot, the 2021 La Gurgue offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, iris and paraffin wax, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's supple and giving, built around powdery structuring tannins.
The 2021 La Gurgue, which contains 19% Petit Verdot from a massal selection, is aged in 60% barrels and 40% ovoid vats for a planned 12 months. The estate is are now eschewing used oak and aging in concrete eggs/vats instead. This has a fragrant, precise bouquet of blackberry, blue fruit and a touch of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, fine depth and gentle grip on the tobacco-tinged finish. Very classic in style.
