A prestigious First Growth from Margaux, the 2012 Château Margaux reflects the estate’s characteristic combination of elegance, finesse, and power. The vintage was marked by a wet spring followed by a dry summer, allowing the best mature-vine plots to achieve remarkable concentration and refinement. Only a little under 34% of the harvest was selected for the Grand Vin.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Refined and expressive, with blackcurrant and other dark fruits, floral notes, spice and subtle savoury nuances.
  • Palate: Dense and concentrated yet remarkably elegant, with fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon, fresh acidity and beautifully silky tannins.
  • Finish: Long, harmonious and refined, with lingering dark fruit, floral and mineral notes.

Perfect For

  • Roast beef and lamb
  • Duck and game
  • Truffle and wild mushroom dishes
  • Slow-cooked meats
  • Fine French cuisine
  • Mature hard cheeses

The 2012 Château Margaux is a graceful and beautifully balanced expression of this legendary estate, combining concentrated mature-vine fruit with softness, delicacy and silky tannins. The château considers it enjoyable now, while also noting its capacity for further ageing.
