Château La Garricq
Château La Garricq sits in Moulis-en-Médoc, a subregion of the Médoc known for structured, age-worthy reds built on Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate's flagship wine blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot and Merlot, a composition that reflects the gravelly left-bank terroir of the appellation. The wine has drawn assessment from Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Moulis-en-Médoc occupies the central Médoc plateau, where well-drained soils and a maritime climate produce wines of mineral precision and tannin architecture. Petit Verdot, a late-ripening variety, adds structure and depth; Merlot softens the blend's edges. The result is a wine built for cellaring, with the dry, elegant profile characteristic of the region.
