Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classe Chateau Margaux 2016 750ml

DESCRIPTION

The Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Margaux is the epitome of Left Bank elegance and one of the most graceful wines in the world. Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it reflects the gravelly soils of its legendary terroir. Aged in new French oak barrels, this Grand Vin achieves an unparalleled harmony of perfume, structure, and length. Silky and refined yet profoundly complex, Château Margaux embodies the purest expression of balance, charm, and timeless sophistication.
EYE

Brilliant garnet-red with ruby reflections, luminous and refined.

NOSE

Exquisite aromas of violet, blackcurrant, and red berries, intertwined with notes of cedar, graphite, and subtle spice.

MOUTH

Silky and layered on the palate, offering pure, vibrant fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and precise acidity. Flavors of cassis, rose petal, and tobacco unfold into a long, elegant finish that combines delicacy with remarkable depth. A wine of perfect balance and exceptional longevity.

PAIRING

Ideal with roast lamb, duck breast, or beef tenderloin. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom dishes, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses such as Comté and Beaufort.

Château Margaux

Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, Château Margaux is a jewel of the Médoc and a global symbol of fine wine. With roots dating back to the 16th century, the estate combines centuries of heritage with meticulous precision under the leadership of Corinne Mentzelopoulos. Revered for its architectural beauty and its wines’ ethereal finesse, Château Margaux consistently produces some of Bordeaux’s most elegant and enduring expressions — masterpieces of purity, fragrance, and refinement.

Overview PRODUCER REGION

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the world's most famous fine-wine region, home to legendary châteaux, the 1855 Classification and elegant red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as great dry and sweet whites.

Geographic position: Southwestern France, in the Gironde department around the city of Bordeaux, along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and the Gironde estuary, about 50 km from the Atlantic. Around 270,000 acres of vines make it France's largest fine-wine vineyard.

Origin & history: The Romans planted vines here in the 1st century. The marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry Plantagenet in 1152 placed Bordeaux under English rule for 300 years, and its "claret" became England's favourite wine. Merchants (négociants) and the 1855 Classification built its global prestige.

Main appellations & varieties: Left Bank (Médoc, Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Pessac-Léognan, Graves) led by Cabernet Sauvignon; Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Fronsac) led by Merlot and Cabernet Franc; Entre-Deux-Mers and Sauternes for whites from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle.

Food specialties: Entrecôte à la bordelaise, Pauillac lamb, Arcachon oysters with Sauvignon Blanc, cèpes mushrooms, lamprey stew and canelés, the little caramelised cakes of Bordeaux.
