In a few words ...
Although Château Margaux has been renowned since the 17th century, it is above all since its purchase in 1978 by the Mentzelopoulos family, then with the remarkable work of former director Paul Pontallier, that the cru has truly established itself as the best in its appellation. J. Suckling: 98-99/100
Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
For the Margaux appellation, we find black fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackcurrant, sometimes cooked, and an empyreumatic that gives off aromas of roasted coffee or licorice.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Roasted
Taste
On the palate the best Margaux are those who have perfectly integrated their tannins in their structure, giving roundness. We find the aromas of the nose namely black fruits and tertiary flavors such as leather, vanilla.
