2006 Chateau Margaux

The 2006 Margaux is, alongside the 2009 and 2015, one of the estate's finest achievements of the 21st century, a wine of startling beauty and precision that embodies what the gravelly soils of Margaux do better than anywhere else on earth.

Floral, silky, and profoundly aromatic: violet, cassis, dried rose, tobacco, pencil lead, and a finish of extraordinary length and delicacy. Nearly two decades of development have brought the wine into an ideal drinking window without diminishing its potential to develop further. An opportunity to drink a First Growth at its most magnificent.
