Chateau La Garde White

AOC Pessac-Léognan

Château La Garde Pessac-Léognan Blanc is only produced in limited quantity. Planted on a vein of deep limestone, Sauvignon Blanc is the majority variety in the blend, imparting the wine with rare aromatic precision and chiselled mineral character, underpinned by impressive length. Semillon is the perfect finishing touch to the blend and brings depth, harmony and full flavours.

Tasting notes

Attractive, pale straw, flashed with pale green. The nose echoes the typical limestone terroir of La Garde Sauvignon Blanc, fresh and mineral, exuding citrus fruit notes. Direct on the palate from the outset, concentrated, revealing freshness, fruit and elegant floral notes in perfect balance. Vibrant acidity lengthens the finish, underscored by glorious minerality.

Blending

  • 94% Sauvignon blanc
  • 6% Sémillon

Food pairing

This wine is a very good match with shellfish, grilled fish or in a sauce, hard cheese.

91-93/100

A blend of 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Sémillon, the 2022 La Garde Blanc offers up aromas of lemon, lemon oil, verbena, lime tree and menthol. Chiseled and tense, lively and energetic, it has a vibrant spine of acidity and a saline finish. This estate is experiencing a resurgence of interest from its owners, and Pessac-Léognan enthusiasts should observe its evolution in the coming years.
