Château Margaux Description

MT

It was difficult to summarize in a few lines, the long and passionate history of the estate, it could be entitled "Once upon a time Château Margaux".

Through the generations and through the centuries, the skillfulness of one and the innovations of others, progressively made Château Margaux into a wine of excellence; we only have to remember the progress made by Berlon at the very beginning of the XVIII century.

Berlon was the first to vinify the grapes and the white grapes separately. At that time, the vine stocks were mixed in the vineyard. He asked that the grapes should not be harvested at dawn "because the grapes were covered in dew and that, if they were harvested in the morning, their color was diluted and paled with excess humidity". The beginnings of modern winemaking were appearing.

Definite richness alongside classic elegance. It’s a stylish wine, the fruit integrated into a beautiful structure. It’s not all refinement, because there is also a weight to the black plum skin and dark berry character. A wine that will age over many decades.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
WS91
Wine Spectator
Shows a lightly sinewy edge, with coiled notes of damson plum, red currant preserves, rooibos tea, singed balsa wood and iron, lacking the vintage's typical crisp edge. The fine-grained finish is approachable already, but this will age gracefully and should develop a more perfumed than rich profile.
