Deep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate rim brightening. Ripe heart cherries with a delicate floral underlay, fine cassis, rose petals, multi-faceted bouquet, a hint of precious wood, multi-layered aromas. Textured, elegant, fine extract sweetness, fine fruit, silky, supporting tannins, incredibly complex, mineral, freshly structured, lingers for minutes, sure aging potential for many decades. The ideal image of a classic Margaux for the new era.

The 2025 Château Margaux was picked at 22 hl/ha between 10 and 29 September. This year it represents 37% of the total crop, a little down on recent vintages, and was matured in 100% new oak as usual. The first thing that you notice on this Château Margaux is the purity of fruit, a signature of the First Growth but taken to its maximum in this vintage. Perfumed blueberry, crushed violet and iris flower, a touch of iodine and a distant trace of the estuary. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins, fine delineation and poise. There is backbone to this Margaux but it is disguised under the layers of pure blackberry and blueberry fruit, dovetailing into a lightly spiced but very persistent finish. It fans out wonderfully, completing a very alluring wine in the making. This vintage contains 13.8% alcohol.

The vast array of floral aromas doesn't require a single swirl before you're ensconced in their bouquet. Black cherries, cocoa, exotic spices, currants, espresso, and blackberries follow aromatically. On the palate, length, width, and depth are present in spades. The concentration is intense, yet the wine feels almost weightless on your palate. The fruits, with an almost racy quality, paired with sweetness, energy, and length, hit all the right notes. Balanced between cerebral and opulent, this is a great vintage of Chateau Margaux. The hallmark of the vintage is the fruit's ability to provide ripeness with density. The wine blends 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. 13.8% ABV. 3.72 pH, 14% press wine. Yields were only 22 hectoliters per hectare. Picking took place September 8 - September 29. Drink from 2032-2075. 98-100 Pts

Inky-black colour. An intense, refined and ultra-complex nose, with spectacular fruit brilliance. Notes of black fruits, plum, vanilla, spices and violet. With aeration, the aromatic power is insane. Incredibly precise on the attack, with the creamiest texture ever seen at Château Margaux, a superbly elegant structure, record flavour intensity and an amazing softness on the palate, the wine develops into a delicious whole. The finish adds an ultra-delicate, mysterious layer of breadth, as this perfectly controlled power defies comprehension. It’s wonderful. Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Press wine: 13%. Alcohol: 13.8% - pH: 3.72 - IPT: 81, slightly below 2022 (88) and 2018 (83). Yield: 22 hl/ha. Selection: 37% of the crop. Harvest dates: 8 to 29 September, but for the large plots from the 19th onward. As a side note, Philippe Bascaules took the risk of delaying the harvest, believing that waiting 120 days between flowering and full ripeness was necessary. He started on the major plots from Friday the 19th, while many other estates had finished by the 22nd for fear of rainy days and botrytis. It’s rare for Château Margaux to be among the last to finish harvesting. He simply said he was right on time!
