he 2009 Château Margaux is a wine of extraordinary elegance, power, and complexity—an exceptional expression of the estate's renowned terroir.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet incredibly supple, with silky tannins that provide a seamless texture. The fruit is ripe and concentrated, yet perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and a refined minerality that runs through the wine. The finish is long, persistent, and impeccably polished, with lingering notes of dark fruit, floral nuances, and a fine touch of oak. The 2009 vintage is already beautifully integrated and harmonious, but its structure and balance promise continued evolution and aging potential over the next several decades.

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2009 Château Margaux was crafted from a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. After a meticulous selection of the best grapes, the wine was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats before undergoing malolactic fermentation. It was then aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels, imparting additional complexity and depth to the wine. The 2009 growing season was characterized by ideal weather conditions, with a warm and dry summer, followed by a cooler fall, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. This vintage stands out for its impeccable balance of ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and fine tannins, with a precision and grace that reflects the mastery of Château Margaux’s winemaking team.
