RATINGS

90+ Robert M. Parker Jr.

...The complex perfume is followed by a dark ruby/plum-colored wine with beautifully sweet tannins, a silky, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and a long finish...

90Wine Spectator

A touch soft, but persistent, with pretty floral, mulled plum and tobacco notes that glide over light, rounded tannins. The pure finish lets the fruit hang elegantly. Wins on balance rather than depth.

88-91Vinous / IWC

...Sweet, dense and nicely focused, showing a sappy quality to its blackcurrant, menthol and mineral flavors. Finishes broad and vibrant but with slightly dry tannins..

17Jancis Robinson

Very subtle aromas. Lovely luscious texture. Very polished and attractive quite early. Plush

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.
