Another Margaux success here, There is a lovely opulent attack of well-ripened fruit - not thick - but a silky richness. Great dark spice and a touch of cedar and high-grade chocolate on the dark spicy finish. L&S (Apr 2013)

Clare Villars has conjured a commendable La Gurgue. The nose suggests that there will be plenty of fruit on offer after bottling – strawberry preserve and raspberry scents mingling with vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly compact red berry fruit. It is just a little pinched towards the finish at the moment although it will expand with time and there is a pleasing citric twist that gives it edge Rating: 87-89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2013)

Fine Margaux fragrance with good Cabernet Sauvignon back-up, really nicely made in the feminine-floral style. Drink: 2015 - 2024. Rating: 16.5 Steven Spurrier (Apr 2013)

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 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, abut in many places the vineyards of the illustrious Château Margaux. Certified both organic and biodynamic.
