Évaluations et Scores
99 Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long.

It’s very friendly and warm on the nose showing flowers, such as roses, and red fruit. But then on the palate, it lets you know how serious it is. Full-bodied, yet reserved, extremely tight and well-formed with super polished tannins that go on for minutes. A solid and typical Margaux with all the personality and beauty in strength. Try after 2027.
98 Vinous
The 2016 Château Margaux has an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar, crushed stone and subtle cedar aromas that enrapture the senses; hints of pencil box and sous-bois emerge with time. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and a touch of bitterness lends tension on the finish. Impressive – very impressive. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.

Beautifully rendered, with a lush and seamless flow of cassis, steeped cherry, warmed raspberry and gently mulled blackberry fruit flavors gliding through. Light lilac, savory, mesquite and mineral accents underline the finish, adding additional texture and length. Deep and long, with sublime definition and gorgeous fruit. Best from 2024 through 2040. 10,833 cases made. — JM

Château Margaux

Indiscutablement, Château Margaux constitue la propriété la plus éblouissante des châteaux médocains, et sa façade grandiose couplée à son allée spectaculaire bordée d’arbres, en dit long sur sa réputation, déjà impressionnante. Erigée au début du 19ème siècle, la bâtisse se dresse toujours aussi fièrement, symbole des vignerons qui y ont œuvré durant des siècles. André Mentzelopoulos, né en Grèce, a acquis le domaine en 1949 et depuis les années 1980, c’est sa fille Corinne qui perpétue ses traditions bien ancrées. En 1983, le charmant Paul Pontallier, aujourd’hui disparu, a rejoint l’équipe, en tant que directeur technique alors qu’il n’avait que 27 ans. Ce château traditionnel, dirigé par une équipe jeune mais talentueuse, s’est métamorphosé pour se hisser parmi les meilleurs vins de Bordeaux. S’épanouissant sur 262 hectares, le domaine propose sa cuvée phare, son Grand Vin à base de cabernet-sauvignon, le Château Margaux, mais aussi un remarquable second vin, le Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux et un 100% sauvignon blanc, unique en son genre à Margaux, le Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.
