The history of Château La Gurgue is closely linked to the village of Margaux. Two owners of the vineyard ran successfully to become mayors of Margaux and the winery has always had a reputation for making big, age-worthy Cab-dominant blends.
If you like soft, silky Right Bank wines, I’d probably keep looking. But if you’re looking for well-built, dense and powerful wines, then look no furthe — today’s wine is emphatically in that category. When tasted four different times by expert reviewers, it got at least a 92-point score every single time.
Galloni called it, “rich and powerful” a “hearty Margaux with plenty of personality”. Suckling fell for the wine’s grace, calling it “long and polished’ as well as a “very suave, attractively balanced Margaux.”
The 2017 Chateau La Gurgue Margaux is a big thick wine, but it’s built to perfection. Released by the historic estate that was once owned by the mayor of Margaux, this baby is 55% Cabernet, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot classic Left Bank Bordeaux blend that is just coming into its own. According to the Galloni’s tasting note, the drinking window for this one is 2022-2037. Now’s the time to strike while the iron is hot!

92-93 Points, James Suckling
This is a really beautiful wine with a clarity that delivers gorgeous dark fruit and firm and silky tannins. Long and polished. Demeter certified biodynamic.
92 Points, James Suckling (2020)
Bright, fresh red berries and red plums with a neat sense of purity. The palate has a very sensual texture with fluid,flowing tannin. Very suave, attractively balanced Margaux here. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
92 Points, Vinous
Just as it was from barrel, the 2017 La Gurgue is a rich, powerful wine. Dark red cherry, red plum, cedar, spice, tobacco, licorice and mocha give this hearty Margaux plenty of character as well as personality. I especially admire the wine’s density and sheer depth.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
90 Points, James Suckling
Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
