About

Château Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé 2022 is a dry red wine crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the prestigious Margaux appellation in Bordeaux, France. As a First Growth classified estate, Château Margaux is renowned for producing wines of exceptional elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The 2022 vintage reflects the estate's signature style, combining power and refinement with remarkable depth and structure.

Producer

Château Margaux is one of the most known wineries in Bordeaux, located in the Médoc, just east of Margaux itself. Along with Lafite, Latour, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion, it was recognized as the first growth of Bordeaux in the original 1855 Classification of the Médoc. In general, Margaux is considered the most graceful of the first growths and remains one of the most expensive wines in the world.

Tasting notes

Château Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé 2022 opens with an aromatic bouquet of cassis, black cherries, and violets, intertwined with notes of graphite, cedar, and subtle spices. The palate is beautifully structured, featuring silky yet firm tannins, bright acidity, and layers of dark fruits, complemented by hints of tobacco and cocoa. The long, refined finish showcases exceptional balance and aging potential, promising further development in the bottle over decades.

Pairing

This exceptional wine pairs perfectly with prime cuts of beef, roasted lamb, or duck, where its structure and complexity enhance the rich flavors of the meat. It also complements aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère, providing a sophisticated and harmonious tasting experience.

Margaux

All products from this village

The wines of the Margaux appellation could be called the most feminine and elegant of the Médoc region. The soil here is very porous and conducts water well, which is one of the factors for the soft and silky structure of the wines. It is essential to watch out for bad vintage years, as the wines can be watery. Along with the aroma of blackcurrant, Margaux wines have notes of violets and excellent perfumes. New wines are initially introverted and only reveal their elegant aromas and silky flavors with time.

Bordeaux

All products from this region

Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
