RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

...engaging aromas of blackberry, raspberry, cedar and a pinch of spice, well defined and quintessentially Margaux. The palate is understated on the entry, smooth and sensual in texture, with gorgeous, very pure red fruit.

94James Suckling

...perfumed nose of dark cherries, blackberries, mocha, dried flowers, bark, toffee, cedar and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Perfumed and silky with plenty or ripe cherry and sweet spice notes. Framed and layered with a flavorful finish.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...great nose of ripe darker cherries, blackberries, mulberries, leafy herbs, cedar pencil, and violets. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied Margaux with a rich, fleshy, expansive mouthfeel, polished tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish.

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.
