Margaux is a commune that often makes some of the most elegant wines in the Medoc. Brilliantly pure and fresh when young, they age superbly in the cellar developing that textbook tobacco and soft spice.
Alongside the most well known properties, there is also some great value drinking to be had such as Brane Cantenac, du Tertre & Rauzan Segla.
We are delighted to offer a selection from the Seckford cellars.

100 Points (Wine Advocate)
The 1996 Chateau Margaux, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, must be a strong contender for wine of the vintage. It offers everything you desire from this First Growth. It is blessed with breathtaking delineation and freshness on the nose, understated at first and then blossoming with mineral-infused black fruit, hints of blueberry, crushed stone and violet. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, perfect acidity, a wine where everything seems to be in its right place. Blackberry, crushed stone at the front of the mouth, just a touch of spice towards the finish that shows supreme control. This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. It was outstanding in its youth...something that has not changed one bit over the intervening two decades. This may well turn out to be the Left Bank pinnacle of the 1990s. Tasted July 2016.
