RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Smooth and succulent, with attractive earth, tobacco and cassis aromas and flavors. Despite its intensity and concentration, it never loses its sense of balance and harmony.

92The Wine Advocate

Offers blackcurrant pastilles, raspberry and cedar on the nose, violets unfurling with time in the glass... The palate is medium-bodied and well balanced...with fine backbone and an attractive masculine, tobacco-infused finish

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.
