Chateau La Garde Pessac-Leognan Grand Vin de Graves embodies the elegance and complexity of Bordeaux's Left Bank. This wine, crafted by Vignobles Dourthe, showcases the exceptional terroir of Pessac-Leognan, an area celebrated for its gravelly soils that impart distinctive character to the wines. The wine is typically a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
The 2015 vintage offers a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. On the nose, you'll find a bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and cedar, underscored by subtle earthy notes and a hint of spice from oak aging. The palate is medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and a lingering finish. It is best to decant this wine to help the tannins to be less present. Enjoy with a rib eye, blue cheese or matured cheese.
Intriguing blend! Classic black fruit with a lovely earthy depth and a surprisingly smooth finish. Glad I decanted! Pairs perfectly with aged cheese.
