James Suckling 99-100
The aromas in this young Margaux are so primary,
reminding me of grape must fermenting in the vat, then
turning to perfumes and flowers. Violets and roses. Fullbodied but it comes across as so agile and bright, with
vivid acidity that makes the wine crunchy and linear. As
Alexis, one of the owners of Margaux said, this really
shows the DNA of the estate. Weightless. One of the wines
of the vintage. 3.6 pH. Blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon,
5% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.
