Ten hectares of Margaux gravel that Chateau Margaux itself repeatedly tried to buy, and never got. La Gurgue sits right by the village on deep gravel over limestone marl, and since Claire Villars-Lurton took it over from her family it has become one of the very few properties in the appellation farmed to full biodynamic certification, organic since 2016 and certified biodynamic by both Demeter and Biodyvin in 2018. The blend runs around half Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot, and the style is Margaux's perfume and lightness of touch rather than Medoc power. 2016 was the Left Bank's great recent Cabernet year, a bone-dry summer broken by well-timed mid-September rain, which gave wines with ripe tannin and unusually fresh acidity. Approachable now with a decant, and it will hold and improve into the early 2030s.

Rack of lamb with herbs, roast squab, beef daube, or grilled portobellos with thyme for a meatless table.

Violets, red currant and blackberry over cedar and pencil shaving. Medium-bodied with silky, fine tannins and lively acidity. Perfumed and elegant, with a long, gently mineral finish. Dry.
