This vintage shows a dense, deep purple color. The nose reveals complex aromas of blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, licorice, graphite, and smoky wood. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with excellent concentration and powerful yet well-balanced tannins. A floral, elegant Margaux with remarkable purity and strong terroir expression.
Cellaring Potential
This wine benefits from 5 to 8 years of cellaring and can be kept until 2040 and beyond.
Food Pairings
Perfect with red and white meats, game, aged cheeses, or beef tenderloin with morels.
