Margaux is fascinating and captivating. The only appellation to contain twenty one Grands Crus Classés, fewer than 25 kilometres from Bordeaux, is one of the most renowned terroirs in the Bordeaux region. The character of a Margaux wine is best described as ‘an iron fist in a velvet glove’. The meagre terroir provides the wines with a wonderful structure of tannins, enabling them to develop magnificently over time whilst still retaining the charm and delicacy characteristic of a Margaux.
Tasting notes:
Vintage character coming through with the rich plum, cassis and fresh fig fruits, alongside black pepper and clove spices, but overall the feel is savoury, with austere tannins that are clearly revving up and have plenty of character.
