‘If only they made more of this’ (Decanter)
Professor Axel Marchal van de faculteit Oenologie van de Université de Bordeaux is consulting oenoloog. Zijn maestro en grote voorbeeld is wijlen Denis Dubourdieu die door Stephen Brook ‘the wine’s most famous scientist’ werd genoemd. Marchal ontving in 2021 (toen pas 37 jaar) de Decanter Rising Star Award.
Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux) over de wijnen van La Garde: ‘A wine that I find easy to recommend in both red and white. Great quality.’

Lively and bright, such intensity of sharp lemon and lime at the beginning, straight but forward and so expressive. Crunchy and crisp, so charming and enjoyable with lift and length and the most lovely saline, mineral aspects towards the finish giving different nuance and complexity. Feels really well made, if only they made more of this. A lovely bitter tang on the finish reminds you it's serious, one of the best whites with such sherbet juiciness, sharp, lively, intense - I love it! Focused and pure. Aged 8 months in oak. Harvest 18 August - 29 August. HVE certified.

A tight and focused white with sliced and crushed apple. Pie tart. Lime. Mineral and aniseed. Complex. Medium body. Nicely done.

A blend of 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Sémillon, the 2022 La Garde Blanc offers up aromas of lemon, lemon oil, verbena, lime tree and menthol. Chiseled and tense, lively and energetic, it has a vibrant spine of acidity and a saline finish. This estate is experiencing a resurgence of interest from its owners, and Pessac-Léognan enthusiasts should observe its evolution in the coming years.
