About this product
Limited availabilityDry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Merlot Petit Verdot Cabernet FrancBordeaux, FranceChâteau Margaux is one of the original 1st growth classified in the Médoc and is arguably the most important of the region. Producing only some 33,000 cases of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaux consistently produces wines that are among the finest examples of the vintage. The 2008 Cabernet, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc blend is strong on perfume and finesse, but with the added individuality it's terroir that adds body and complexity.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

This is a stunning Château 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 Château 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 Château Margaux.
