Rating: 84-87 Ian d'Agata - Stephen Tanzer website (May 2014)
Red fruits raspberry and mulberry are fresh the nose bright. The start of the palate is light and red fruited and although firm in the middle there is slightly more depth and sweetness on the finish. 2018-25 Rating: 85-88 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (May 2014)
Modest damson plum fruit gives way to a twinge of savory before a twang of pickle enters the finish, growing steadily. Rating: 79–82 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Apr 2014)
Château La Gurgue
Despite having two former Mayors of Margaux among previous owners, and a location right in the heart of the appellation, Château La Gurgue was not marked by particular greatness until recent times, registering not more than Cru Bourgeois status in the infamous 1855 classification. Now, however, in common ownership with Château Haut Bages Libéral and Château Ferrière and under the benign stewardship of Claire Villars-Lurton, La Gurgue has rightfully assumed position as a property to watch in the always popular appellation of Margaux. 10ha of vineyard, planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, abut in many places the vineyards of the illustrious Château Margaux.
