The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to reveal alluring notes of blackcurrant cordial, Black Forest cake and black raspberries with suggestions of candied violets, tilled soil, fallen leaves, licorice and espresso plus wafts of underbrush and rosehip tea. Medium-bodied, the elegance and finesse on the palate is simply bedazzling, exuding a quiet intensity of fresh black fruits layered with oh-so-subtle floral and earth nuances. It has a soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness to support the tightly wound flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful! This grand vin accounts for just 37% of the crop.<br/>

One of the clear highlights on the Left Bank, the 2017 Margaux is magnificent. Soaring in intensity, the 2017 exudes class from the very first taste. Margaux is so often a wine of charm and seduction, but the 2017 is anything but that. Instead, Margaux is dark, somber and mysterious, with layers of sepia-toned nuance that opens up with time in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon, picked 5 days later than first anticipated, is especially prominent. The 2017 is going to need a number of years to be at its very best, but it is a super-promising wine. Wow.

Seamless from start to finish, with a thoroughly caressing mouthfeel to the mix of damson plum, black cherry and black currant fruit, inlaid with a range of lilac, lavender and rooibos tea accents. The finish unfurls slowly, revealing a mouthwatering mineral edge buried deeply in the seductive fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2038. 10,833 cases made. — JM

Château Margaux

Indiscutibilmente la proprietà più sbalorditiva tra gli Châteaux del Médoc, la grande facciata e il teatrale viale alberato la dicono lunga sulla straordinaria reputazione di Château Margaux. Costruito all'inizio del XIX secolo, lo Château continua a svettare e rappresenta secoli di viticoltura. Di origine greca, André Mentzelopoulos acquistò la tenuta nel 1949 e, sin dagli anni Ottanta, la figlia Corinne Mentzelopoulos ne ha seguito le tradizioni ben radicate. Nel 1983, il carismatico e purtroppo ormai defunto Paul Pontallier entrò a far parte della squadra, diventando direttore tecnico a soli 27 anni. Il tradizionale Château, guidato da questa squadra giovane ma di talento, è cresciuto diventando uno dei migliori di Bodeaux. La tenuta di 262 ettari produce il Grand Vin di punta a base di Cabernet Sauvignon, il Château Margaux, oltre a un secondo vino notevole, il Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, e a un Sauvignon Blanc in purezza, unico in Margaux, il Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.
