Gorgeous blue fruits, cola, vanilla and blackcurrants on the nose. Sleek and fruity, a silky smooth texture initially before the crushed stone, liquorice and blueberry tannins come into play covering the entire mouth in a fine layer of chalk and powder. The fruit loses some push but the acidity is there giving life and freshness and the structure is clearly imposing, giving an impressive form overall. Lovely minerality on the finish. Aged 12 months in oak barrels, 37% new, 6 batches in amphora. Harvest 8 September - 28 September. HVE certified.

A big year at La Garde, with new cellar, new label and new consultant in Professor Axel Marchal. Captures a charming freshness and nuanced fruit style that is not easy in the vintage. Slate texture, with ripe berry fruits and a kick of lemongrass, sage and white pepper on the finish, along with smoked sandalwood spice. Reduced percentage of first wine from 60% to 40%.

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Inviting red cherry fruit, hints of tobacco and suede, a touch of orange zest. Complex palate, juicy, good fruit and freshness, mineral and lasting. Well balanced, nougat in the finish.

Beautiful fruit here, ripe but fresh and crunchy, with violets and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and refined. Lingering, velvety mouthfeel to the tannins.

The 2022 La Garde has an elegant and fresh bouquet with aromas of cassis, blueberry, raspberry, spices and violet. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is round and seamless with velvety tannins, a concentrated texture and a long and penetrating finish with hints of oak and a firm, tannic sensation. It's a blend of 63% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2022 La Garde demands some coaxing from the glass: blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, pressed iris flower and light dark chocolate notes. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, leaning slightly more toward the herbaceous style of 2022, but with freshness and vitality throughout. Fine.
