Critic Scores, Reviews & Descriptions
Lots of blackberry and currant on the nose and palate, as well as tar. Really spicy. Full-bodied and very juicy. 45% cabernet sauvignon and 32% merlot with 23% petit verdot, which is more than normal. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certification - James Suckling
The 2020 La Gurgue is a rich, luscious wine deeply informed by tiny yields of 16 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to 35-40 or so. Plush, silky and voluptuous, the 2020 impresses right out of the gate. Rich red berry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and spice build effortlessly in the glass. The 2020 has more Petit Verdot in the blend because of shatter in the Cabernet and Merlot. Aging is in 40% new oak, 40% concrete eggs and 20% new oak. It's a sleeper in this vintage. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
