Margaux
3ième Grand Cru Classé
New
1,5
Red
Frost affected about 35-40% of the vineyard and the blend this year is 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot . Deep ruby colour, inviting nose of blackcurrant and blackberries with a pretty, fresh lift. On the attack , the wine is sweet and composed, quite well-mannered, with fine tannic structure and a good fruit and tannin peristance on the finish. Quite classic Margaux.
