Chateau Margaux 2012 Vintage Overview

2012 OVERVIEW

A refined, classically styled Margaux showing cool-toned blackberry and plum layered with rose, violets, graphite and a touch of tobacco and tea. Medium-bodied yet remarkably dense, its fine, firm tannins and vibrant acidity drive a long, mineral-tinged finish with hints of cocoa and cedar. Poised and elegant, it gains complexity with air and promises even greater nuance in time.

About Chateau Margaux

Château Margaux (the Grand Vin) is the Premier Grand Cru Classé red of the Margaux appellation, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend famed for its perfume, finesse and silky tannins. Drawn from the estate’s deep, well‑drained gravel with clay‑limestone subsoils on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, it marries elegance and intensity with remarkable longevity, embodying the quintessential Margaux style crafted by Château Margaux.
