Château La Garde Pessac-Léognan rouge 2021 0,75l
Château La Garde is located in Martillac at the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation and is owned by the Dourthe group. Its vineyards form a mosaic of some 27 distinct soil units, including a prominent gravel plateau and later-ripening sandy-clay parcels. The red blend is built on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with other classic Bordeaux varieties in support. The bouquet offers cassis, dark cherry and plum with smoky undertones, graphite and herbal spice. On the palate Château La Garde is powerful and firmly structured, with ripe tannins, lively acidity and a long, mineral Pessac-Léognan finish.
Ageing in oak for 12 to 14 months rounds out the slender, fresh fruit with subtle structure.
