SCA AGRICOLE CHATEAU LA GORCE Château La Gorce Red 2017 Médoc
Description
Viticulture
The soil of the estate is rich in organic matter, thanks in part to sparing tillage. It is composed of cold clay and limestone, which allows our berries to benefit from the hydration necessary for optimal ripening. The location of the property, swept by the winds brought by the estuary and the ocean, also maintains coolness during the sometimes hot summers in Gironde.
Vinification
The grapes are picked fairly late, de-stalked, sorted, lightly crushed and the fermentation in stainless steel is carried out with total temperature control. They remain in vats for 20 to 30 days. The wine is then put into oak casks in an old semi-underground cellar where it is matured for 12 months before being bottled.
Wine aging
Ready to drink, this wine has also a great capacity for ageing.
Tasting notes
La Gorce 2017 is an intense garnet color. The scent is an inspiring blend of fresh raspberry and a very handled barrel aging, with spicy and confectionery notes. Frank attack, very well-balanced, the mid-palate is fleshy and supple. Very expressive wine, enhanced by complex woodland aromas.
