RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...has enormous power that is mitigated by the taut, mineral texture and black-currant flavors.

93-94James Suckling

Dense and chewy with very firm and silky tannins. Full-bodied and powerful.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Lovely scented first impression of both black and red fruit and a touch of herbaceousness. Chewy, thick tannins, rounded and rich but fresh too.

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.
