•  Ageing potential: 2024 - 2060
• Tasted by Lisa Perrotti-Brown on 16th March 2020: "Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs some encouragement to reveal seductive notes of cassis, Black Forest, and black raspberries, with suggestions of candied violets, plowed earth, dead leaves, licorice, and espresso, as well as hints of underbrush and rosehip tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is simply stunning in its elegance and finesse, exuding a sweet intensity of fresh black fruits. With a long, perfumed finish, this is a wine of great beauty!"

 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 2017 is composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, representing 36% of the harvest. Château Margaux represents 37% of the harvest.

 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.
