What you will taste
Behind its colonnaded façade, Château Margaux makes the most perfumed of all first growths: where Pauillac shows power, Margaux offers grace. The 2017 is quietly beautiful: cassis lifted by violets and rose, cedar in fine thread, tannins of pure silk. A vintage for drinking rather than waiting, which makes tonight exactly the right occasion.
The sommelier’s note
«Decant one gentle hour, serve at 17 degrees. Fine glasses, quiet room: perfume this rare deserves silence.»
