Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 31 Jan 24
Takes a moment to clear the slight brett on the first nose, but then it steals up on you, full of softly spoken strawberry and white truffle notes, with waves of Margaux flowers, tobacco and smoked earth. Absolutely ready to drink, no need to carafe, but no need to rush - it should stay on this plateau for another decade. Exact blend not known. William-Alain Miaihle owner at the time, the 3rd generation of the family in the role.

Margaux

Margaux, in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for producing some of the world’s most elegant red wines. Margaux wines are characterised by floral notes of violet and rose, red and black fruits like cherry and blackcurrant, refined tannins, a silky texture, and a complex, long finish. The region's gravelly soil enhances grape concentration. Top producers include Château Margaux, known for its finesse and ageing potential; Château Palmer, recognized for its rich, aromatic wines; and Château Rauzan-Ségla, celebrated for its elegant precision.
