Château La Gurgue

Vineyard blend
  • Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Merlot
  • Petit Verdot

Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The estate does not publish the share of each grape variety: they are listed without proportions.

Bottle of Château La Gurgue

The wine

Au XVIIIè siècle, Le Château La Gurgue appartint d’abord au prieuré de la paroisse de Margaux, qui détenait, cultivait et vinifiait les plus belles parcelles de la région margalaise. Le domaine du Château La Gurgue, très représentatif de la beauté des terroirs de Margaux, sera ensuite vendu durant la Révolution française.

S’en suivront ensuite la lutte des maires pour la municipalité de Margaux et ainsi deux maires, Monsieur Lanoire et Monsieur Lavandier, deviendront successivement les propriétaires du Château La Gurgue.

2024—A rainy spring and a difficult flowering reduced the crop; the dry October saved fine, light, easy-drinking wines.fiche · PDF
2023—July mildew followed by a hot September demanded strict selection: fleshy, aromatic wines, more approachable than 2022.—
2022—Three heatwaves and extreme drought gave, against all odds, wines of exceptional concentration without harshness — the great sun-drenched year.—
2016—A very wet winter followed by a sun-drenched summer produced a rare balance, combining the depth of great years with genuine freshness.fiche · PDF
2012—A late cycle closing with rain gave an uneven vintage: the cabernets hold up, the merlots remain taut.fiche · PDF
2011—A scorching spring followed by a wet August turned the seasons upside down: classic wines, shorter but true to type.fiche · PDF
