Makuprofiili
In the glass, this wine shows the deep, polished color typical of a serious Bordeaux of this caliber. The bouquet is remarkably refined and layered, opening with mineral-tinged black fruit, blackberry, blueberry, crushed stone, violet, and a subtle hint of spice. With air, the nose reveals even more detail and finesse, showing impressive lift and clarity. On the palate, Château Margaux 1996 is beautifully balanced, with filigree tannins, vibrant acidity, and a core of dark fruit framed by exceptional precision. Notes of blackcurrant, spice, and stony minerality unfold with remarkable control and length. This is a wine built for patience, with excellent aging potential and the ability to develop greater aromatic complexity over decades.

Viininvalmistus
Château Margaux sits on some of the finest terroir in Bordeaux, with gravel-rich soils that favour Cabernet Sauvignon and help produce wines of finesse, structure, and aromatic purity. The estate carefully manages its vineyards with a strong focus on preserving older vines, which contribute concentration and depth to the grand vin. Harvesting is typically done with meticulous selection, followed by traditional vinification methods designed to preserve precision, freshness, and varietal character.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
