Chateau Margaux Wines
The Epitome of Elegance
If you like Cabernet blends, prefer a polished, supple red wine, and want to find out why so many of the world’s wine regions model themselves after Bordeaux, look no further than Margaux wines. Margaux Bordeaux wine marries masculine power with elegance, velvety tannins, and sensual textures. Flavorful aromas and perfumes of ripe dark berries, tobacco, truffles, cassis, and violets are the signature of these vin de pays. The Bordeaux wines from the Margaux region come in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and prices. Generally, these wines are characterized by great purity of fruit with silky textures, and unique floral characteristics. Simply explained, Margaux is the epitome of elegance. Due to its size and diverse array of soils, the style, taste, and character of Margaux wines are quite varied. Wines from this region range from delicately flavored and perfumed to highly concentrated, and from medium to full-bodied, Still, all of them share a fragrant bouquet, smooth texture and remarkable balance. Margaux vin de pays are not the most concentrated, powerful or tannic in their taste, but above all elegant, sensual, refined and perfumed. They are definitely among the most floral wines in all of Bordeaux. While the dominant scents are violets and lilacs, once the wines mature, you can also enjoy exciting aromas of truffles, cigar box, earth, cherries, plums, and tobacco. The two best wines of the Margaux region are Chateau Margaux and Chateau Palmer. Because of their excellent aging potential, the best Margaux wines are highly prized by collectors.
"The crystalline nose here is primal, backward, takes some coaxing from the glass: blackberry, bilberry, briary, graphite and a spellbinding sense of mineralite. The palate is beautifully balanced with svelte tannins. Touches of sandalwood i..." Read More
"Am I being too stingy with the 2003 Chateau Margaux? A wine of extraordinary complexity and intensity, it reveals a deep purple color, a style not unlike the 1990 Margaux (possibly even more concentrated), a velvety texture, and notes of sp..." Read More
"...undoubtedly one of the great classics produced under the Mentzelopoulos regime. In many respects, it is the quintessential Chateau Margaux, as well as the paradigm for this estate, combining measured power, extraordinary elegance, and ad..." Read More
"...It offers an extraordinary aromatic display of spring flowers, camphor, sweet red and black fruits, a hint of licorice, and no evidence of its 100% new oak cask aging. Round and generous with low acidity, but an opulent, full-bodied rich..." Read More

"Wow. Wonderfully fresh, with currant, blackberry and flowers on the nose. I just want to keep on smelling it. Full-bodied, with ultravelvety tannins and loads of berry and chocolate character. Dense and firm. Big wine, muscular. Drinkable n..." Read More
"The 1986 Margaux continues to be the most powerful, tannic, and muscular Margaux made in decades. One wonders if the 1928 or 1945 had as much power and depth as the 1986? The black/ruby/purple color reveals no sign of age. The reluctant nos..." Read More
"The 1983 Margaux is a breathtaking wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes achieved perfect maturity in 1983, and the result is an astonishingly rich, concentrated, atypically powerful and tannic Margaux. The color is dark ruby, the aromas exud..." Read More
"Performing well from bottle, Chateau Margaux's 2001, which is somewhat reminiscent of both the 1985 and 1999, is an elegant, seamlessly constructed effort with a deep ruby/purple color, and a beautiful nose of flowers, creme de cassis, blac..." Read More
"Medium red-ruby. Confectionary aromas of raspberry, cocoa powder, mocha and sexy oak; more evolved than either the '99 or '98, even considering its extra year of age. Fat, sweet and harmonious; offers lovely balance but just misses out on t..." Read More
"The best First Growth in my book, tasted several times and always lip-smackingly delicious! It has what can only be described as a joyous bouquet of ebullient red-berried fruit with hints of truffle and something a little exotic: Medjool da..." Read More
"...This Chateau Margaux was captivating in its youth and at ten-years of age it displays a wonderful, exuberant bouquet with blackberry, violet, boysenberry, a touch of spice and smoke. The palate is full-bodied, great depth and breadth wit..." Read More

"Wine of the vintage and the greatest Chateau Margaux yet produced. A stunning red. The essence of raspberry, violet and berry, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. Full-bodied and thick, yet racy, with masses of tannins and a harmonious s..." Read More
