Description
Chateau Margaux 2018 Premier Grand Cru Classé is a vintage that has received a lot of enthusiasm from international wine journalists. This vintage is characterized by exceptional ripeness and concentration, made possible by the warm and dry growing season. Overall, the 2018 Chateau Margaux is considered an exceptional vintage that has the potential to mature and improve for decades. It is a wine that captures the essence of the Margaux terroir, with a perfect balance between power, finesse and elegance.
There is a ripeness and lushness in this wine, almost exotic and challenging. Crushed berries with chocolate and spices. Floral and cashmere undertones. This wine starts slowly and just rolls off the palate with beautifully polished tannins and a salty, mineral note in the long, extended tannins. Really brilliant. So stylish. Structured. Try after 2027. 100/100 Parker & Suckling
