Chateau Margaux, 1st Growth, Premier Grand Cru Classe 2016

On the nose, there are glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch, crushed blackcurrants, tilled black soil, forest floor, cigar box, lavender, and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover ethereally weightless over the palate, yet still intense with red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and long.

Region Info/Origin

The Margaux appellation encompasses the village of Margaux and the neighbouring villages of Arsac, Labarde, Soussans and Cantenac. Being the most southerly of the Médoc's appellations, it has the thinnest soil in the region with the highest proportion of gravel that allows the soil to drain very well. The wine from this area are very susceptible to weather effects during the growing season. Encountering all seasons with adequate irrigation, relatively good rainfall and good amount of sunlight, the crop yields a bountiful harvest year-on-year. The winery takes pride and value that captures the essence that reflects their unique brand.
