Château Margaux 2008
First Grand Cru Rated
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 vines to grow and thus favours a harmonious ripening of the grapes. The typicity of the wines is due to the composition of the various soils, but also to the slow and random maturation process, of which only the Château knows all the little secrets.
- The 2019 Château Margaux is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, representing 37% of the harvest. The alcohol level is 13.9%, the TPI is 75 and the pH is 3.66.
SERVICE
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.
