RATINGS

94Robert M. Parker Jr.

...sexy, up-front, elegant style, with deep creme de cassis fruit intermixed with spring flowers, a solid inner core of richness and depth, but again, very sweet tannins as well as striking minerality and elegance...

93+ Vinous / IWC

.Complex nose melds blackberry, minerals, bitter chocolate, graphite and violet. Suave & deep on entry, then fresh & alive in the middle palate, with compelling sweetness and intensity to the black cherry, smoky mineral and tobacco flavors.

91Wine Spectator

A tangy style, with lots of grilled herb, dried bay leaf and damson plum notes laced with extra roasted cedar and mesquite on the finish. Opens slowly, very slowly, to show more layers of flesh, mulled cherry and spice...

17Jancis Robinson

...Intensely Cabernet on the nose. Very grown up. Not overtly sweet nor green. Very sophisticated...

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.
