Nose
Château La Garde 2020 releases seductive, complex dark fruit aromas of blackberry and cherry, together with smoky notes.
Palate
Incredibly bright on the palate, characterised by very expressive fresh fruit, underpinned by a thread of delicate tannins, and full of flavour. A characterful, well-balanced fine wine, that lingers in a long, flavoursome finish.
Harvest
Harvest: by hand, plot by plot. Optical sorting.
Winemaking
Malolactic fermentation partially in barrels.
Aging
Ageing 12 to 14 months in oak barrels (33% of which are new) on fine lees.
Appearance
Very deep, almost black in appearance.
