The wine is dominated by the Cabenet Sauvignon grape with Merlot and Petit Verdot. The owner is Claire Villars-Lurton. The grapes come from old vineyards of an average of 30 years. The wine is made in the winery of Château Ferrière. The vineyards are certified organic and in conversion to biodynamic farming. The wine has 12 months in French oak barrels, of which every year consists of 20% new oak.
The Château la Gurgue Margaux is a wine with perhaps one of the best price/quality ratio. a top wine made by a renowned house for less than 35 euros. The nose has a nice aromatic energy of tobacco, licorice, black fruit and spices. The taste is fleshy and dense. The wine has a beautiful tannin structure and finesse and a beautiful aftertaste.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 La Gurgue is sumptuous and racy in the glass. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, lavender and espresso infuse this deep, layered Margaux with tons of character. Low yields produced a La Gurgue of uncommon depth. A healthy dollop of Petit Verdot (the result of low yields in the Merlot and Cabernet) adds character.

From: 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal (Jun 2021)
The 2020 La Gurgue is a rich, luscious wine deeply informed by tiny yields of 16 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to 35-40 or so. Plush, silky and voluptuous, the 2020 impresses right out of the gate. Rich red berry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and spice build effortlessly in the glass. The 2020 has more Petit Verdot in the blend because of shatter in the Cabernet and Merlot. Aging is in 40% new oak, 40% concrete eggs and 20% new oak. It's a sleeper in this vintage.
