Margaux
If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.

The rejuvenated Ch. du Tertre is steadily building a reputation for excellent value for money. The 2014 has a lovely expressive nose, with sweet red fruits combining effortlessly with aromas of floral cassis and dried fruit. There are generous helpings of blackberries and cream on the palate which sit wonderfully alongside the elegant Margaux femininity. Fine tannins, crunchy black fruit and excellent length. The Cabernet Franc provides a really strong backbone and the Cabernet Sauvignon a structure and texture, which is typical of this commune. There is a lovely peppery focus here, courtesy of the Cabernet Franc. Focused and direct, it is a real pleasure to taste this wine, even at such an early stage, straight from barrel. It's one of the best du Tertre wines we have tasted in many years.

Lovely crushed raspberry and cream on the nose and a deliciously velvety mouthful, like cold raspberry ripple ice-cream on warm summer pudding (OK, a tad over the top perhaps, but you know what I mean). Delicious!

Just below Ch. Margaux and Ch. Palmer in the Margaux pecking order, big John Kolassa, director of this historic estate, has done a sterling job in 2012. This is a jazzy little number. An exuberant and open knit nose with redcurrant fruit and a racy floral edge combines with sappy cassis fruit and more redcurrant notes on the palate. There is a lovely spice and creamy edge from the oak with enough flesh, roundness of fruit, balance and texture to suggest this will turn out very well in bottle. The 2012 Rauzan-Ségla is all about elegance.

"The 1990 Margaux continues to be the quintessential example of this chateau. In addition to being profoundly concentrated, its ethereal bouquet of sweet black fruits, cedar, spices, flowers, smoke, and vanilla is remarkably well-formed and intense. In the mouth, there is not a hard edge to this classic wine, which is super-concentrated, soft, silky-textured, and opulent. now to 2020" 100/100 pts (Robert-Parker- Bordeaux Book 1998)

The wine is powerful, but has such precision that it takes your breath away. Fine-grained tannins add elegance and there’s an intriguing, almost raspberry hint to the finish. This is a beautiful wine with the most sumptuous of finishes. A terrific, seamless wine, with a core of minerality: a true wine-lover’s wine.

The wine benefits from over 35-year-old vines. With lightness and an abundance of tasty fruit, it is another excellent wine in 2015. The wine has a precision and saltiness that is utterly delicious, demonstrating just how good white Bordeaux can be.

The length is long and fresh, with a lingering coolness. The wine displays a tension, suggesting there is more to come in the future. What a terrific effort this year, the wine is certainly very close to its more illustrious neighbours and should therefore offer tremendous value.

Soft and round, the wine is elegant and generous on the lingering finish. Tasting wine at Ch. Margaux is one of the greatest parts of our job. It’s a true privilege. It is the most beautiful château and always one of the most elegant and sophisticated wines of any trip: 2015 is no exception.

This is not a big XIX Century blend due to the more forward gentle nature of the vintage but don’t be fooled into thinking it is any less serious – in fact for me it is the best I have tried. Almost Burgundian in its elegance and delightfully fleet of foot, this remarkably complex and intriguing wine is bursting with personality and there is still more to come. A veritable triumph of a wine.

An atypical Bordeaux wine from the famed Margaux estate, Ch. Palmer. This blend has in previous guises shown a somewhat foursquare, brusqueness that I have found difficult to reconcile with the suave and balanced poise so often associated with the wines of Ch. Palmer.
With the base year of this being the 2013 vintage, they have appeared to have hit the nail on the head and this wine sings out with a beautiful medium body, cassis, red cherry fruit with a hint of pencil shaving. A lovely spice note flows through on the back palate. A fluid, beautifully elegant and poised Bordeaux. The wine will be approachable in its youth but will age effortlessly over the next decade or so. 2020 – 2030+.
