SCA AGRICOLE CHATEAU LA GORCE Château La Gorce Red 2018 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
this wine is ready to drink, it also has a great capacity for ageing.
Tasting notes
Very expressive and rich nose. It develops rich scents of red fruits elegantly mixed with overtones of ageing, roasted nuts and undergrowth. After aeration, the bouquet is getting more complex with notes of cherries, raspberries and floral hints of violets. Château La Gorce 2018 combines character with finesse and perfectly reflects the success of 2018 vintage in the Médoc.
