Tasting notes

Dark in appearance, with crimson glints. Intense and complex on the nose, layered with dark fruits, spice and the typical smoky character of Pessac-Leognan terroir. The wine caresses the palate, generous, concentrated, yet delicate, and fresh as a daisy. Flavoursome, mineral notes define the lengthy finish. A remarkably balanced wine!

  • 63% Merlot
  • 37% Cabernet Sauvignon

Beautiful fruit here, ripe but fresh and crunchy, with violets and crushed stones. Medium-to-full bodied, layered and refined. Lingering, velvety mouthfeel to the tannins.

The 2022 La Garde has an elegant and fresh bouquet with aromas of cassis, blueberry, raspberry, spices and violet. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is round and seamless with velvety tannins, a concentrated texture and a long and penetrating finish with hints of oak and a firm, tannic sensation. It's a blend of 63% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon.
