Château Dauzac Margaux Cinquième Grand Cru Classé 2016

A distinguished Margaux Fifth Growth with aromas of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite, cedar, and baking spice. Silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and refined structure create an elegant Left Bank Bordeaux with exceptional balance and impressive aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, grilled ribeye, duck breast, aged Comté, truffle dishes, or wild mushroom risotto.

94 Points - James Suckling

Blackberry, blueberry and sweet-tobacco aromas. Full-bodied, dense and layered with ripe tannins and a chewy yet polished, tannic finish. A young Bordeaux with plenty of structure and focus. A blend of 71 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 29 per cent merlot. Try after 2022.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This rich wine comes from one of the most southerly estates in Margaux. Although structure is certainly there, it is cushioned by rich black fruits. Juicy acidity at the end offers a fresher view of this ageworthy wine. Drink from 2025. Roger Voss

92 Points - Wine Spectator

This is a frankly ripe and somewhat showy style, with waves of fleshy plum, blackberry and fig preserve flavors rolling along, laced with licorice and singed tobacco notes. Stays refined throughout, despite the showy fruit, with a light mineral edge peeking in on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2032. 10,000 cases made.
