Since the 17th Century, the first wine of Château Margaux has been recognized as being one of the greatest wines on the planet. It owes its unique qualities to the genius of its terroir as well as to the passionate work of a succession of generations. It’s a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics that are only rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness.
The 2017 has a rightful place in the estate’s lineage of great vintages: it is profound, complex, intense and long. It demonstrates yet again to what extent great terroirs are capable of transmitting all their best qualities into the wine.
Perfect Pairings: This regal wine pairs splendidly with fine dishes such as grilled lamb, roasted duck, or a rich beef bourguignon. It also serves as a profound complement to a cheese platter featuring aged cheeses.
