Chateau La Garde 2020 is deep and bright in appearance. A more significant proportion of Merlot on clay-limestone has created a particularly mineral dimension to this poised, generous vintage. On the palate, the wine is characterized by intense, complex fruit, underpinned by impressive tannic structure. With a hallmark smoky edge so typical of the great Pessac-Leognan terroirs, the wine is long and harmonious on the finish, a very great vintage for La Garde.

Blend: 65% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot

Initially smoothly textured, this wine then fills out with tannins and structure. It is rich, with dense blackberry fruits and acidity supported by wood aging.
