RATINGS

97James Suckling

Black currant, dried-blueberry, oyster-shell, black-olive, black truffle, and bitter-chocolate aromas...full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Savory and mineral layers interplay with the black fruit. Powerful and chewy yet very polished and beautiful..

92Vinous / IWC

...attractive bouquet of tightly packed blackberry, bilberry and freshly rolled tobacco, desiccated orange peel...palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, structured and grippy....

91The Wine Advocate

...opens with fragrant notions of kirsch, black cherry compote and blackcurrant pastilles...dried lavender, cinnamon stick and mossy tree bark....medium to full-bodied palate delivers a good amount of red and black fruit flavors with compelling purity, framed by soft tannins and well-balanced freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.

16+ Jancis Robinson

...rich plummy fruit that is fresh and vibrant woven into the notes of cedar and clove. This shines through with more authority on the palate, red cherry and plum with moreish, lively acidity and crunchy tannins. Lifted through to the finish.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Margaux

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.
