Château des Graviers Margaux, 2019

Deep, vibrant ruby with a youthful edge. A complex bouquet of taut red fruits—raspberry and cherry—intertwined with earthy undertones reminiscent of river rocks. Delicate floral hints of violet and subtle herbal notes emerge, enriched by a whisper of spice and oak. The wine presents a beautifully balanced profile, showcasing over 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by the plush texture of Merlot. There’s a mouthcoating richness that harmonizes with the lively acidity. Flavors of red berries meld with deeper notes of graphite and crushed stone, while the integration of various fermentation techniques adds layers of complexity. The finish is long and elegant, with a mineral edge that lingers, punctuated by refined tannins and a subtle touch of oak. This flagship Margaux exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and harmony, offering a refined experience that highlights the diverse terroir of the region. Perfectly paired with braised lamb shanks or a hearty beef bourguignon, enhancing the win
