Chateau Margaux 2001

An exceptional First Growth Bordeaux displaying remarkable elegance and precision. Complex aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cedar, graphite, and fine spice lead to a silky palate with refined tannins, vibrant freshness, and an exceptionally long finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, duck, venison, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.

"For me, this vintage is what makes Margaux special," says Margaux winemaker Paul Pontallier. He is right: With its denseness, spice, flavors of black currants layered with dryness and fresh acidity, this is a huge and impressive wine that never forgets that it is Margaux. It is still young, and the dry tannic aftertaste, which lasts for many minutes, shows this.
