Margaux, Bordeaux — First Growth
Blend: Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot
Style: Classical, precise, and refined
Appearance:
Deep ruby-garnet with youthful brilliance and clarity.
Nose:
Elegant and expressive, offering aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, and cassis, lifted by hallmark Margaux florality — violet and rose petal. Underlying notes of cedar, graphite, cigar box, and subtle spice add depth and sophistication.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with exceptional balance and finesse. The palate delivers pure red and black fruit, framed by fine-grained, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of tobacco leaf, cocoa, and mineral freshness unfold gracefully, emphasizing precision over power.
Finish:
Long, refined, and harmonious, with lingering notes of cassis, floral lift, and elegant tannin.
A cooler, classic Bordeaux vintage producing wines of freshness, structure, and aromatic clarity. At Château Margaux, 2014 highlights restraint and elegance, reminiscent of more traditional styles.
