Vinous Tasting Note

(a blend of 83% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot; 13% alcohol) Bright, full ruby. Very pure, highly aromatic nose combines blackberry, boysenberry, minerals, dark chocolate and violet. Densely packed but pure and perfumed in the mouth; at once suave and penetrating. Offers outstanding mouth coverage and great class. Finishes with extremely fine-grained tannins and extraordinary length and breadth, without losing any of its definition and purity. A great Margaux in the making.

Château Margaux, Premier Grand Cru Classé, is a name that resonates with the excellence of the Margaux appellation, in the heart of the Médoc. Its history is rich, dating back several centuries, and its prestige has been built over time thanks to passionate generations. Today, Corinne Mentzelopoulos embodies the continuity of this illustrious estate. The wines of Château Margaux are celebrated for their elegance, aromatic complexity, and ability to span decades. They offer a palette of deep flavors, where black fruits blend harmoniously with notes of tobacco and cedar. The estate also produces Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, a refined second wine that captivates with its balance and potential for evolution. Finally, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, a rare and expressive white wine, brings a touch of freshness to this iconic range.

The estate notably works with appellations such as Premiers Crus, which consistently extend its signature.
