Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this wine shows classic Margaux finesse with a rich, layered profile. The nose is expressive and nuanced, with dark berries, violets, graphite, cedar and subtle spice, unfolding beautifully with time in the glass. On the palate it is silky yet concentrated, with ripe blackcurrant, plum and blackberry framed by polished tannins and fresh acidity. There is a long, elegant finish with mineral and savory notes, and it has the structure to age gracefully for many years, evolving into even greater complexity over the next two decades or more.

The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful parcel selection, with vinification designed to preserve purity, texture and the expression of each plot.

Food & Serving
