Château La Garde 2024 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose offers fruit, finesse, breed and a lovely airy side in the intensity of its grain. There are notes of boysenberry, violet and small notes of pulpy wild cherry, associated with touches of cherry blossom, gunflint, as well as a discreet hint of sweet pepper and almost pine needle. The palate is well-built, fresh, mineral and offers a little fat, roundness, juiciness, a tangy frame and suppleness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, crushed cassis and small notes of small brilliant red fruits, combined with touches of cornflower, hints of cherry blossom, chocolate, a subtle hint of sappy/pine needles (in the background), as well as a discreet hint of camphor and oatmeal. The tannins are precise and finely mellow.
