RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...a taut, linear, pencil lead-infused bouquet with pure blackberry and boysenberry scents, an undercurrent of tobacco... there is pedigree here from start to finish, a sense of effortlessness that is seductive. This is a top-class wine...

95Wine Enthusiast

This elegant wine is very much in the classic style of Margaux... fresh black currant fruits along with an underlying firm, long-lived tannic structure. The aftertaste with its dryness and acidity confirms that.

94+ Vinous / IWC

...beautifully polished & suave with pliant fruit & plenty of finesse, all in a classic, mid-weight Margaux style... stony, mineral-infused energy... Grilled herbs, smoke, graphite & sage add further nuances on a savory, delineated finish.

18.5Jancis Robinson

Real interest on the nose. Very charming and beautifully balanced. Great poise. More forward than some though. Massive fruit hides the pretty massive tannins.

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.
