About this winery

Château Margaux has sought to achieve excellence in its wines for over 400 years now through painstaking and necessarily long studies of its terroir, through a constant desire to learn and innovate, by remaining sensitive to demanding markets, and above all through a passionate commitment that has been shared by the families that have succeeded each other at the estate. At the end of the 17th century, it became part of the nascent elite “First Growths” – long before being established...

April 2022 (Vintage 2015)

The 2015 Margaux du Chateau Margaux red is a splendid garnet-purple coloured creation with incredibly inviting aromatics bursting with seductive notes of black berries, crème de cassis, pressed rose petals, lavender, sappy sandalwood and hints of sweet Cohiba cigar tobacco spice. This vintage has got to be the ripest and most opulent expression of this Margaux Bordeaux since the maiden 2009 release, showing a medium to full–bodied flavour packed mouthful, delivering a lush black berry seduction, hints of black forest gateau and a tight knit vein of finely polished spicy tannins which melt away into a fresh, inviting acidity that somewhat reins in the warm fruit exuberance.  This wine is certainly not lacking in backbone or classicism, revealing plenty of mid-palate concentration and focused precision as you would expect from one of the greatest Chateau in Bordeaux

June 2022 (Vintage 2015)

A beautiful perfumed fragrance on the nose, full of violets and mixed berries. Lovely purity of flavour on the palate, bright, lifted and lively. Super fresh acidity yet there is also a full tannic structure giving backbone and length. Characterful and supremely drinkable with an enjoyable zing to the finish.
