RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

...firm, smoky wine, dark and firm in character. It has weight, a solid and rich feel and a juicy black-currant note.

16.5Jancis Robinson

...plenty of fruit, just ripe, fresh and aromatic. More leafy on the palate but so refreshing and elegant, the tannins finely tuned. Good length too.

Margaux is one of Bordeaux’s most famous appellations and also one of its largest, with about 3,400 acres of vineyards. Located on the Left Bank of the Gironde River, Margaux has the greatest number of classified-growth châteaux (or crus classé) according to the 1855 classification. There are twenty-one crus classé, including the most famous estate, the first growth Château Margaux. The Margaux appellation includes vineyards around the village of Margaux and the villages of Arsac, Cantenac, d’Issan, Labarde and Soussans. Wines from the best Margaux châteaux and vintages are prized for their perfumey fragrance and elegant, silky mouthfeel. Margaux wines are predominately Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
