 Ageing potential: 2017 - 2035

  Tasted by Lisa Perrotti-Brown on 30th June 2017: "Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Chateau Margaux was just missing a little intensity on the nose compared to the other First Growths: scents of incense and iris, blackberry and tobacco, perhaps just missing the floral nature of other vintages. The palate is well balanced with supple black fruit laced with graphite and tobacco, fully matured but clearly with sufficient substance to last another 15-20 years. It is a capable Château Margaux, although frankly it does not put enough distance between itself and its Margaux peers, yapping at its heels."

 TERROIR

 "From an exceptional terroir comes a great Wine."

 Château Margaux is located on a privileged site, the genetic heritage of great wines. Indeed, the estate benefits from an excellent climate, which allows the cultivation of the vine and thus favors a harmonious maturity of the grapes. The typicity of the wines is due to the composition of the various soils, but also to the slow and random ripening of which only the Château knows the smallest secrets. 

Château Margaux 2007 is composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, representing 35% of the harvest.

 Traditionally, the great red Bordeaux wines are served "chambrés" i.e. at room temperature (about 18-19°C). Above this temperature, the nose loses its finesse and the alcohol overwhelms the delicate scents of the bouquet, or even the fruit of young wines; the tannins appear less fleshy and drier. When the temperature is too low, the aromas are difficult to release and the wine appears duller and shorter.
