2012 Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

The freshness of the 2012 was the most notable aspect, backed up by ample, cool fruit. This is very much an archetypal Ch. Margaux with its gentle, spicy aromas that will develop and intrigue. If priced correctly, which it should be, this will prove to be a classic and thoroughly enjoyable Margaux from a vintage where Paul Pontallier and his team deserve praise for creating such a success from a less than easy vintage. The terroir tells.

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
