Château Margaux stands as an emblem of Bordeaux's winemaking heritage, revered as one of the world's most iconic wine estates. With a history spanning over four centuries, this historic classified First Growth estate has consistently produced wines of unparalleled elegance, finesse, and longevity. Situated in the prestigious Margaux appellation, Château Margaux's vineyards benefit from gravelly soils and a favorable microclimate, yielding grapes that capture the essence of their terroir with remarkable precision. Renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality and tradition, Château Margaux continues to captivate wine enthusiasts worldwide, offering a timeless expression of Bordeaux's finest craftsmanship and the epitome of terroir-driven winemaking.

The 2016 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, plus 1% of Petit Verdot, representing 28% of the total production. Lucid in color, it has a detailed and precise bouquet with mineral-rich blackberry, raspberry coulis and limestone scents. It feels very perfumed, though not powerful like many Grand Vins in 2016. The palate is a different creature to the aromatics. Here is the intensity of the vintage with shimmering black fruit laced with spice, a killer line of acidity and an irresistible crescendo on the finish. Then, graphite lingering on the aftertaste, a nod to Pauillac perhaps. The aftertaste is so long you could probably write a letter to your friend enthusing about this wine before the aftertaste fades. Doubtless it is destined to be compared to the magnificent 2015 Chateau Margaux and to be truthful, there’s a hair’s breadth between them. In a worDecanter: crystalline. Drink 2026-2070.
