Margaux Rouge AOC Organic 021 (750 ml.) Chateau La Gurgue
The Margaux Rouge AOC 2021 from Château La Gurgue is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot, sourced from 30-year-old vines rooted in deep gravel and coarse sand over limestone. Vinified in the traditional Bordeaux style, it matures for 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new each year. It shows an intense red color, with elegant, vibrant aromas of tobacco, liquorice, black fruits, and spices. On the palate, it is fleshy and dense, fine and harmonious, with a beautiful tannic structure and a long, persistent finish. Perfect with roasts, game, and aged cheeses, it captures the refined elegance of Margaux.

Chateu La Gurgue
Château La Gurgue is a true gem set in the heart of the prestigious Margaux appellation in the Médoc, surrounded by some of the region’s most celebrated cru classés. The estate rests on deep gravel and limestone-clay soils — an exceptional terroir that imparts refinement and elegance to its wines, hallmarks of this renowned area. Under the passionate guidance of Claire Villars-Lurton, the château has embraced a virtuous path of organic and biodynamic farming, enhancing biodiversity and respecting the natural cycles of the vine.
The vineyard is planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, varieties that thrive here to their fullest expression. Winemaking combines tradition and innovation: fermentations in cement and wooden vats, careful aging in French oak barrels, and the use of alternative vessels such as concrete eggs or amphorae, preserving aromatic purity and balance.
The result is a Margaux with an unmistakable style: on the nose, delicate floral notes of violet give way to ripe dark fruit and subtle spicy nuances. On the palate, it reveals a fine structure, silky tannins, and a freshness that extends the finish, delivering harmony and depth.
Château La Gurgue embodies the perfect meeting point between history, terroir, and sustainability, offering a high-level sensory experience at a surprisingly accessible price for the appellation. A label that deserves to be discovered and savored by lovers of great Bordeaux reds, now also available on Vino45.

33 Rue de la Tremoille, 33460 Margaux-Cantenac, France
