The 2018 La Gurgue, a Bordeaux Blend from the Margaux sub-region in Bordeaux, France, is a red wine that has caught the attention of several professional reviewers. Known for its intense flavors and structured profile, this wine is a product of small yields, specifically just 12 hectoliters per hectare, which significantly contribute to its concentrated character.

James Suckling awarded the wine an impressive score of 94, describing it as "dense and layered with a velvety texture and very rich palate." He highlights its powerful yet fresh qualities, describing it as "creamy and minerally" and notes its uniqueness, stemming from biodynamically grown grapes.

Decanter's review, which gives the wine a score of 90, also notes the impact of the small yields and describes the wine as "inky in colour" with "dark cassis fruit and textured, tight tannins." The review acknowledges the consultation of Eric Boissenot in its production.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also rates the wine at 90+, calling it a "terrific wine" with "rich aromas of blackberries and cherries mingled with subtle hints of spices and charcoal." The publication suggests that while the wine can be enjoyed young, additional aging will enhance its character.

Vinous, with a score of 93, describes the 2018 La Gurgue as "one of the little jewels of Margaux." Antonio Galloni highlights its "pliant, supple and inviting" nature, with ripe red cherry, blood orange, mint, and sweet floral notes contributing to its charm. Despite the challenges of mildew, the wine's blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot is praised for its superb quality.

Overall, the 2018 La Gurgue is recognized for its elegance and depth, making it a noteworthy choice for wine enthusiasts.
