2024 Château Margaux: a vintage of finesse and balance

The year 2024 started cool and wet, but was followed by a sunny summer with favorable conditions during the ripening. The harvest took place between September 11 and 30 under perfect weather conditions. The wine combines rare freshness with ripe fruit, silky tannins and a refined structure. Château Margaux 2024 is a promise for the long term, but thanks to its balance it will also show charm at a young age.

Grape varieties, harvest and vinification of the wine

The blend of the 2024 Château Margaux consists of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The grapes are carefully picked by hand and rigorously selected in both the vineyard and the cellar. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 to 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels. This classic vinification ensures depth, aromatic precision and ageing potential.

Color, aroma and taste of Château Margaux 2024

The wine presents itself with a deep ruby red color with purple highlights. In the nose we find a rich expression of blackcurrant, violets, cedar, graphite and subtle notes of truffle and liquorice. The taste is harmonious, with a silky texture and great refinement. The structure is impressive, but not heavy, carried by a precise acidity and ripe, velvety tannins. The finish is long, mineral and layered.
