NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Margaux offers vibrant aromas of blackberry, cassis, and violet with hints of bell pepper and clove spice.On the palate, it shows bright acidity, firm tannins, and flavors of dark fruits, herbs, and a touch of minerality, finishing long with lingering fruit and spice. As it evolves, the wine gains complexity, developing tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, and earthy nuances, while the fruit tones soften into dried fig and prune, creating a smoother, layered experience. Ideal food pairings include roasted lamb, grilled ribeye, aged cheeses, and earthy mushroom dishes or hearty stews. Decant young vintages for 1–2 hours to soften tannins and enhance aromatics; this wine is well-suited for cellaring up to 10–15 years to reveal its full complexity.
