The Story

Powerful and revealing intense colour, the red wines of Château La Garde Pessac-Léognan are well-structured and concentrated and ideal for ageing. Round, supple and alluring, they reflect the elegance and finesse of the terroir and today feature among the elite of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.

Vinification & Ageing

Pre-fermentation cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation, with very few manipulations (pumping-over, pigeage). Malolactic fermentation partially in barrels. Ageing in barrels takes place in an arched underground cellar with air-conditioning for 12-14 months. Cooperage savoir-faire and oak selection are combined when choosing the barrels so that they are best suited to the characteristics and style of Château La Garde wines.

Colour is ruby red, and looking dark and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, complex, refined, tempting and charming. The taste is elegant, fragrant, vivid, refined, focused, with silky tannins, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has cigar-box, blackcurrant, leather, toasty and violet flavours. The finish is medium long. This wine is sophisticated and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
