Château Margaux

Château Margaux , a 1er Cru Classé property, has been owned by the Mentzelopoulos family since 1978 - since then it has consistently produced the finest wines in the Médoc.

Château Margaux is a large 90 hectare property which produces over 30,000 cases per year and is located in the centre of the Margaux appellation. The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc 2%, Petit Verdot 3%) lie on a sandy-stone topsoil, beneath which is to be found gravel and then clay. The wine is fermented in a mixture of stainless steel vats and oak casks and is matured for 18 months in 100% new oak barriques.

Still preternaturally youthful and informally suited with an understated chic, Regisseur Paul Pontallier appears to glide effortlessly to successive triumphs as Ch. Margaux continues to make ever greater wine. Yet the image belies the skill and efficiency with which Paul has guided this great estate since his inaugural vintage in 1978. Every detail is analysed during each vintage and minute adjustments put in place for the next year to ensure an even greater understanding of every element's contribution to this monument to Bordeaux's greatness.

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. The second wine, the 2008 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, represents 47% of the crop (keep in mind that 17% of the total crop was sold off in bulk), and is composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and the rest mostly Petit Verdot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc. It is a beautiful wine exhibiting classic purity along with red and black fruits intermixed with licorice, tobacco leaf, and floral nuances. Sweet, round tannins, and a lovely forward freshness suggest this stunning second wine should drink well young, yet last for 15+ years.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Sauv.Blanc & Sémillon, For laying down, 13% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Compared to 2006 and 2007, the 2008 dry white wines of Bordeaux are inferior, but that does not mean they are not very good. They do not possess the flesh, power, or richness of the 2006 and 2007, but they reveal precise, intensely aromatic personalities, lighter bodies, and more noticeable acidity. These remain among the world’s most underrated world-class dry white wines. I will provide full tasting notes once they are in bottle, but following are the dry whites I tasted along with their approximate scores. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr 09) MORE Parker Score: 91 -93 /100.

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13.5% alc. The balance and harmony in this powerful Second Wine is immediately reminiscent of the sensational Grand Vin. The creamy black cherry and blackcurrant fruit is as smooth as velvet and extremely mouth-filling. The much greater percentage of Merlot (48%) this year gives it far more opulence than usual, while the Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) provides the incredible concentration, tannic structure and sheer class. This tastes more like a Second Growth than a Second Wine. MORE Drink: 2012 -2020 . BBR Score: 17/20. Jancis Score: 17.5/20. Parker Score: 91 /100. Wine Spectator Score: 92 /100.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Sauv.Blanc & Sémillon, For laying down, 14% alc. It never ceases to amaze us how such a fine white wine can be made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Despite the incredible ripeness of the fruit, this is all finesse and elegance with beguiling aromatics and pure, cool, minerally, pineapple and citrus fruit. The finish is zingy, intense and aristocratic. Even Paul Pontallier admits that this is not made to taste like classic Sauvignon Blanc. It is of course so much better than that - what Sauvignon, after all, could last and improve for over 15 years, or be as good as this? MORE Drink: 2008 -2020 . Parker Score: 93 /100.

"One of the finest examples I have ever tasted, the 2000 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux exhibits supple tannin along with big, sweet, luscious balck currant flavours intermixed with hints of cedar, spice box and vanilla. Plump and fleshy with low acidity, it will offer delicious drinking now and over the next 10-15 years. Don't miss it!" 90/100 pts. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2003) MORE

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. If Lafite 2007 is all about texture, then Margaux is all about perfume and finesse. With only 32% of the crop deemed worthy of this great wine - the most rigorous selection ever - this is like Ch. Margaux essence. The delicate, aromatic raspberry and cassis nose is unmistakably Ch. Margaux while the supple palate builds into a crescendo of pure, precise red and black fruit with creamy, apple hints. This very fine, beautifully integrated Margaux is true to its terroir and will be gorgeous to drink while you wait for the legendary 2005 to mature. MORE BBR Score: 17.5/20. Jancis Score: 18/20. Decanter Score: 18.5/20.

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. "The 2004 Chateau Margaux, which has put on weight since I tasted it a year ago, is a superb example of why in certain cool, late ripening vintages, the en primeur tastings are easily 4-6 weeks too soon. At the January, 2006 tasting, the wine exhibited a gorgeous nose of licorice, white flowers, black currant liqueur, and subtle new oak. This aromatic, medium to full-bodied, superbly concentrated Margaux reminds me of a lighter version of the 1996. Precise, extremely well-delineated, beautifully pure, and, as the French would say, tres Margaux, it should be at its apogee between 2009-2028." 92-94/100 points.

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will improve, 12.5% alc. The 1998 Margaux is is a robust, firm offering. On the nose, notes of smoke, green peppers, and floral-infused blackfruit are accompanied by a fleshy,fleshy-textured palate, with copious amounts of earthy, dusty berry fruits and licorice. A complex, pure offering that is best drunk during its second decade of its life. MORE
