Renowned for its ethereal floral aromatics, seamless balance, and aristocratic elegance, Château Margaux produced a remarkably precise and beautifully structured wine in 2011 through rigorous vineyard selection and expert winemaking. Now entering a prime drinking window after 15 years of cellaring, it opens with a soaring bouquet of dark cassis, black cherries, and ripe plum preserves, subtly accented by signature notes of dried red roses, graphite, cedarwood, sweet tobacco, and gentle forest floor. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and delightfully silky, where fine-grained, fully integrated tannins are uplifted by a vibrant line of acidity, carrying into an extraordinarily long, refined, and savory mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France (Premier Grand Cru Classé \/ First Growth)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Margaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e Classic Bordeaux Blend (Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Refined, Aromatic, Silky, and Complex First Growth Red Bordeaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Fine cuts of slow-roasted rack of lamb with a garlic-herb crust, dry-aged prime ribeye or wagyu steak, roasted squab, pan-seared duck breast with a light berry reduction, or tender venison loin.
