2017 Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Ch. Margaux perhaps lacks the generosity of 2015 or the elegance of 2016 but it takes on its own appealing character which is one of finesse and elegance. The blend of 89 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and eight percent Merlot, two percent Cabernet Franc and one percent Petit Verdot gives the wine a ripe, tannin-led persona.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 96-98/100
A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Château Margaux charges from the gate with opulent kirsch, raspberry preserves, wild blueberries and cassis notions accented by roses, violets, Chinese five spice and fragrant earth with touches of underbrush and truffles. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with vibrant, ripe red and blue fruits, layering in perfume and spice nuances. It's framed by very finely grained and plush yet firm tannins and great tension, finishing with epic length. Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 27/04/2018

This is a very dense Margaux, and especially for the vintage, with a full body, grainy tannins and a long and rich finish. Impressive depth of fruit and structure. Luscious and muscular at the same time. james_suckling - jamessuckling_com - April 2018
