The blend, true to Château Margaux’s identity, is dominated by 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it structure and depth. The remainder is made up of 5% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, enriching its aromatic complexity and refining its balance.
99 Points - James Suckling
Cassis and blackcurrant aromas with hints of crushed stones and bitter chocolate. The palate is full-bodied but not heavy or ponderous. Really well-structured with fantastic fine tannins that tighten on the palate, giving this so much liveliness and length. Compacted and energetic at the end.
97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Château Margaux has come together brilliantly with élevage. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, cedary pencil shavings and pen ink that are deftly framed by new oak, it's full-bodied, dense and layered, with a concentrated core of intensely sweet fruit, broad structural shoulders and a long, resonant finish. With air, it only becomes more voluptuous, yet that's controlled by underlying tannic grip to deliver a more classical profile than was apparent during élevage.
