The 2015 Chateau La Gurgue Margaux has turned out very nicely. Pliant, forward and supple, the 2015 offers quite a bit of near and medium-term appeal. Sweet red berry, tobacco, menthol, licorice and crushed flowers add nuance that was not evident.
Chateau La Gurgue Margaux is a tiny Margaux property, with just 26 acres in production, producing one of the appellation’s finest-value wines. It was acquired in 1978 by Jacques Merlaut and his daughter Bernadette Villars, who already owned Chateau Chasse-Spleen; since 1993 it has been the property of Bernadette’s daughter Claire Villars-Lurton, who also owns three other Bordeaux chateaux.

A classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, this is a muscular and toned Bordeaux with firm and chewy tannins, polished texture, and a flavorful finish.
