Description
CHATEAU MARGAUX MARGAUX is a distinguished Bordeaux red wine from the renowned Margaux appellation in France. This wine exhibits a complex flavor profile with notes of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle earthy undertones, characteristic of the region's gravelly soils and moderate climate, which contribute to its elegance and finesse.
This wine pairs well with rich dishes such as roast lamb, beef Wellington, or duck confit. It also complements aged cheeses like Brie or Roquefort, enhancing the overall dining experience with its depth and structure.
Expert Reviews
This stood out immediately among the five first growth wines for its floral hit right off the first nose. The epitome of elegance, as I found at the 10-year point, but it is now also starting to deepen and layer, with concentrated black fruits balanced by linen-textured tannins, slowing the progress of the fruit through the palate, stretching out the flavours. First suggestions of tobacco and curling woodsmoke, with a mouthwatering finish - so moreish. 1.5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Just 36% of overall production.
This is a stunning Chateau Margaux, made in a 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. One of the most seductive Chateau Margauxs given its recent bottling, this blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest tiny quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot should drink beautifully for the next 25-30 years. Remarkably, a mere 36% of the entire production was selected for the 2008 Chateau Margaux.
