Critic reviews
"The 2024 La Garde has decent fruit concentration on the nose within the context of the vintage: blackberry, redcurrant and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins and moderate depth but it lacks a bit of flesh and feels just a tad undernourished on the finish. Early drinking."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 La Garde is a very pretty, elegant Pessac-Léognan. This wine has come a long way in recent years. That is evident even in the 2024, a wine that shows notable purity despite the mid-weight structure of the year. Red-toned fruit, flowers, mint and spice are nicely delineated throughout."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Some citrus and crunchy cherries, dried flowers and peppery berries. Medium-bodied, textured and linear, this has fine-boned tannins and good precision. Elegant. 55% cabernet sauvignon and 45% merlot."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Slim and savoury with lovely bright fruits, well handled, good quality, this is showcasing the vivid and just-skirting-ripeness character of the vintage, but it works, and is very well handled. Last vintage with Frederic Bonnaffous as Wine Director."
