2024 Château Margaux, Margaux
Dry | Red | Still
The 2024 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. It opens with a very fine, almost aristocratic spiced nose of incense and five spice - it is assertive and expressive. The texture on the palate is caressing yet there is tension and focus – a classical and sinewy frame, with a strong mineral core. The Grand Vin represent 46% of total production. There is a sanguine and ferrous note that comes through with accents of liqourice and kelp. It is a wine without excess that seems to really transport terroir.
