Château La Garde 2018 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity and offers a very fine richness as well as a fine freshness. It reveals notes of fleshy nectarine, quenette, small notes of lychee associated with touches of crushed apple, lemon and very discreet hints of acacia/flowers. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine acidulous frame, juiciness, tension as well as a certain precision, a small fat and suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quenette, juicy/fleshy nectarine, small notes of lychee associated with touches of citrus (lemon, mandarine) as well as a hint of grapefruit flowers, a discreet hint of acacia and an imperceptible hint of toasted/hazelnut (in the background). Good length.
