Château Margaux 1996
The Château Margaux 1996, from the gravelly terroirs of Margaux, is a wine of great elegance. Aged in oak barrels, it offers notes of dark fruits and violet. Its silky and taut palate reveals fine tannins. Ideal for long cellaring, it pairs beautifully with game and aged cheeses.
Château Margaux
A historic estate rooted in the Médoc, where exacting standards and terroir have shaped exceptional wines since the 12th century.
- Terroir: Gravelly soils of Margaux, on the left bank of Bordeaux, conferring a mineral elegance and refined structure to the wines.
- Winemaking: Precise blending of noble grape varieties, aged in new oak barrels for a pure expression and silky complexity.
Tasting notes for Château Margaux 1996
To the eye: A deep red robe with garnet reflections, of a velvety density and crystalline brilliance.
On the nose: Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, wild blackberry and violet, lifted by a touch of graphite and a subtle note of blonde tobacco, all carried by a chalky minerality.
On the palate: A silky and taut texture, where vibrant acidity and filigree tannins balance a generous substance, leaving a long and saline finish imbued with freshness.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1996
A vintage marked by perfect ripeness and a tannic structure of rare precision, reflecting the ideal balance between power and elegance.
