Critics Ratings

'This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine floats away slowly on the close.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (Mar 2009)

'The 2006 Château Margaux has a sense of airiness and wonderful definition on the nose: wild strawberry, redcurrant, cedar and crushed roses soaring from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine and quite firm tannin in the mouth. While not a powerful or ostentatious Château Margaux, it epitomizes understatement and refinement in a similar vein to Lafite-Rothschild. It is only after the wine has been swallowed that you appreciate its qualities and you feel urged to go back for another sip.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (May 2016)

'Tense and tight and focused. Dry rather than sweet and definitely left bank but very fluid and glorious. Dry finish. Still youthful.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Apr 2016)
