Description

This premier cru classé is from an exceptionally early, healthy harvest, with lovely fruit sweetness and silky tannins, fresh and long on the palate.

Margaux is, in top vintages at least, the most attractive, fine, elegant and sophisticated of all the first growths. Like Lafite, its hallmark is not power and punch, but more balance, style and perfume. The Château itself is no less remarkable, a beautiful mansion set in a magnificent estate with avenues of plane trees leading through it. Margaux truly is wine aristocracy.

Like all the First Growths, it ages magnificently.
Optimum Drinking: 2014-2040

"I had this wine both in Seoul, Korea in February, and from my cellar in December, 2008, and it was remarkable how identical the wines smelled and tasted. It offers an extraordinary aromatic display of spring flowers, camphor, sweet red and black fruits, a hint of licorice, and no evidence of its 100% new oak cask aging. Round and generous with low acidity, but an opulent, full-bodied richness that is fresh with laser-like precision, this stunning wine is just beginning to reach its plateau of full maturity, where it should remain for another three decades. A sensational effort, it is one of the legendary wines made at Chateau Margaux." - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183 (Jun 2009) Score: 100
