Critic reviews
"Matured in only 5% new oak, the 2025 Blanc from Château La Garde reveals aromas of white fruits, spring flowers and confit citrus. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and enveloping, it’s built around a lively core of fruit supported by energetic acidity, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 La Garde Blanc is quite exuberant in this vintage. Lemon confit, tangerine peel, chalk, mint, white pepper and dried herbs lend notable richness and raciness. Even so, there's plenty of saline intensity and Sauvignon Blanc character to balance things out. This is very nicely done, especially within the context of the vintage."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"Fresh and linear, with balancing fruit that provides texture and a nervy, saline element in the finish."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Concentrated, plenty of depth and spice, lift and purity of aromatics, super fresh, this is finessed, very much in the sleek, juicy fresh style of a classic Bordeaux."
