About

The vintage of 2005 for Château Margaux is undeniably exceptional. It exudes the class and finesse that are unique to its terroir, a quality only found in a select few dream vintages. Additionally, the concentration of this vintage surpasses even the acclaimed years of 2000 and 2003, evident in its intense colour and extraordinary density and length on the palate. Despite its power, this vintage displays a harmonious and voluptuous character. The quality is such that it is believed to age beautifully, making it advisable to wait a few more years before uncorking the first bottles, as it is intended to endure for eternity.

​

Château Margaux is one of Bordeaux's most famous wine estates, located just east of Margaux itself in the Médoc. Along with Lafite, Latour and Haut-Brion, it was rated as a first growth in the original 1855 Bordeaux Classification of the Médoc.

​

Generally, Margaux is considered as the most elegant of the first growths, and is consistently one of the most expensive wines in the world. The Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend is complimented with small portions of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
