  • Few estates evoke Bordeaux’s grandeur quite like Château Margaux, a First Growth named after its appellation and famed for its elegance and aromatic lift. Its vineyards rest on deep gravel ridges that are particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, which forms the backbone of the blend. The 1996 vintage is considered one of the château’s most outstanding modern releases. Now nearly three decades on, it still shows remarkable vitality: aromas of cassis, blackberry and violet mingle with graphite, cedar, tobacco and a hint of leather. The palate is full-bodied yet exquisitely refined, with layered fruit, silky tannins and extraordinary length. This wine will continue to evolve gracefully for decades, making it both a collector’s treasure and an unforgettable experience when served. Recommended to decant gently for 3–4 hours before enjoying.

  • "The 2016 Château Margaux has an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar, crushed stone and subtle cedar aromas that enrapture the senses; hints of pencil box and sous-bois emerge with time. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and a touch of bitterness lends tension on the finish. Impressive – very impressive." 98 points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
