Margaux 2004 3L
The Winery
Château Margaux
Château Margaux is a jewel in the Medoc region of Bordeaux and is quintessential example of elegance, luxury, and balance that the rest of the world seeks. A high percentage of Merlot is blended with a Cabernet Sauvignon base compared to other First Growths and the soils are thin and gravely, producing a more feminine wine of strong aromas of dark berries, fine tannins, and a lengthy finish. The dramatic Château was declared an original First Growth during the 1855 Classification and has been a premier example of the potential of Bordeaux ever since.
Summary
Château Margaux 2004 is a prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé from the Margaux AOC, known for its storied heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. This vintage benefited from a cool summer and an ideal September harvest, predominantly featuring Cabernet Sauvignon in its blend, complemented by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. The wine is characterized by its freshness and elegance, with vibrant blackcurrant, raspberry, and plum notes intertwined with hints of spice and mint, alongside a mineral quality. The palate displays fine tannins and a balanced structure, making it approachable now while still holding significant aging potential. This vintage exemplifies the classic style of Margaux, with aging in new French oak adding depth and complexity.
