WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Confidence de Margaux is a discreet gem, producing just 10,000 bottles annually from its 2.5-hectare parcel nestled in the legendary triangle of vines bordered by Château Palmer, Rauzan Segla, and Cantenac Brown. Situated in the coveted Margaux appellation, the vineyard enjoys prime terroir, boasting ancient alluvial soils of sandy-gravelly composition. With an elevage of 12 to 14 months in oak barrels, 35% of which are new, the wine achieves a harmonious balance without overpowering oak influence. This offering epitomizes elegance, eschewing overripeness, density, or excessive oakiness. Its refined character is characterized by enveloped tannins and a lingering, warm finish. However, the wine's allure may be fleeting, as the specter of acquisition looms, potentially leading to its absorption into the ranks of the Grands Crus, akin to the fate of Château Boston under Château Palmer's ownership.
