Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 90
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.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2042
