2019 Chateau La Gurgue Margaux 375ml

93 POINTS

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

This is one of three properties in Margaux owned by Claire and Gonzague Lurton. The wine's structure and powerful tannins contrast with the black currant fruits and acidity. A touch of mint from wood aging adds a polished feel. Drink from 2026. Organic and biodynamic.

92–94. Barrel Sample. Old vines and biodynamic farming have come together to produce a densely textured wine that celebrates the great revival of this estate. The wine is certainly firm, but it is the fruit that is also so impressive and will follow as the wine ages.

A juicy and chewy red with blackberries, walnuts and some tobacco. It’s full-bodied with fine, dusty tannins and a long, notable finish. Biodynamically farmed vineyards. Points: 93-94

Jane Anson - Decanter

This is a classic, restrained style of Margaux, with a fresh floral edge, and a gentle raspberry and redcurrant feel to the fruit, given welcome depth on the finish by spiced rosemary and pepper. Slightly higher sand in the soil at this location in Soussans, which means it lacks a little of the concentration you find in the excellent sibling estate Ferrrière, but this shows an enticing slice of early-drinking Margaux. A yield of 32hl/ha.
