2019 | Chateau La Garde | Pessac-Léognan Blanc

A classic white from the Pessac-Léognan region, the 2019 Château La Garde Blanc reveals a medium gold hue as well as bright, juicy notes of Meyer lemons, quince, and flowers. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, with racy acidity, it stays balanced, with terrific depth of fruit as well as a clean, dry finish.

Reviews:

• Jane Anson: High Sauvignon Blanc aromatics in this vintage, sappy with edges of gooseberry, a little sour but full of interest and personality. Minerality and salinity clear through the finish.

Producer Information

The origins of the Chateau date back to the 18th century, when Domaine de “Lagarde” already featured on the “carte de Cassini”, the first general map of France drawn by the Cassini family in 1756. The picturesque Charterhouse, built in 1732, was at that time surrounded by valleys and woods. The “Bourdieu de Lagarde” was then passed down through the Blanchard family, until its purchase in 1877 by the Lacoste family, who were negociants in Bordeaux. Vines were thus cultivated on this magnificent stony terroir and the winery was built in 1881. After the First World War, Louis Eschenauer, a well-known negociant on the Place de Bordeaux at the “Chartrons”, was looking for good quality vines in the Bordeaux area.
