Description
Cabernet Sauvignon 46%, Merlot 42%, Petit Verdot 12%
Ben Sichel aged 30% of the crop in 7-hectolitre amphorae, with the balance in barrel (30% new). The 2020 is denser than ’19, with some concentration from the summer heat in evidence. Merlot was picked earlier for freshness; Petit Verdot does the structural heavy lifting. The bouquet is lush with ripe damson, the palate broad and generous with a touch of mocha. The finish is suave and seamlessly woven, courtesy of the amphorae. It’s a little jewel.

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.
