The La Garde Rouge 2018 1500ml is a stunning representation of Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux. This vintage, produced by the renowned Château La Garde, is a true testament to the mastery of winemaking in France. On the nose, an array of aromas greet the senses, from ripe dark berries to hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a deep garnet color that captures the eye. The tannins are velvety and well-integrated, showcasing the balance and complexity of this blend. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate linger on the finish, leaving a lasting impression. This wine is a prime example of the elegance and finesse that can be achieved in a Bordeaux blend. Enjoy now or cellar for further development.
Winemakers Notes
Château La Garde is a pure jewel, led by the Dourthe team to the very top of its appellation since 1990.
This vintage, like 2016 or 2010, once again showcases the outstanding terroir that we have at La Garde. The diversity of soils, particularly the spectacular deep gravel slope named “le plateau”, is famous among our pairs, and our pride for 29 years.
The wines are intensely colored, the tannins both rich and sweet. It’s THE gem to discover in this appellation.
The journalists, once again, have emphasized this unanimously with the highest scores ever. Château la Garde is part of the 6 favorite wines of Thierry Desseauve ( along with Giscours, Calon-Ségur, Palmer), other ratings like the 92-93 James Suckling, 91-94 Wine Spectator, or 17,5+ Weinwisser are starkly illustrative.
