Tasting notes
Plenty of structure and balance, can easily wait for another two or three years before opening. Blackberry and cassis fruits, with a light touch vinification, opens in the glass, tannic weight and depth and has Margaux signature in its rose petal aromatics. 52hl/hyield, no new oak, Stephane Derenoncourt consultant.

Gourmet brioche and toffee notes, fruit-forward, with plenty of power upfront. Soft on the finish, but enjoyable.
This shows a lot of floral notes, such as lilacs and violets, together with aromas of dark fruit, cloves and bark. It has medium body and a soft, polished-tannin structure. Juicy, lingering fruit and firm, fine-grained finish. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

About the producer
After 50 years under the direction of the Lichine family, this leading Margaux estate entered a new chapter in 1999 when négociant Ballande took the reins, continuing the property’s previous upward trajectory.
