Note di degustazione
The 2022 La Gurgue, which contains 17% Petit Verdot planted on gravelly soils instead of clay, has a tightly wound nose that demands coaxing to reveal a touch of black plum and a dab of cassis. It has fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a pleasant underlying bitterness that lends tension. It is nicely structured with just a touch of balsamic on the aftertaste. This is a good, solid La Gurgue that will benefit from two or three years in bottle.

This has the spicy edge that is clearly a vintage character, coupled with lift and rich sinewy muscles. A ripeness to the berry that is not always apparent in La Gurgue, leans into the vintage. 15% new oak for ageing.
A solid Cru Bourgeois, the 2022 Château La Gurgue offers a pretty, floral perfume of red and black fruits, leafy herbs, and fresh earth. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Margaux with supple, integrated tannins, a solid mid-palate, and a good finish. It's certainly promising, if not outstanding. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 17% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Long and linear rather than large. Ripe on the nose with a touch of sweetness on the mid palate. Fine, grainy tannins. (JL)
