Product details
Margaux has a legacy stretching back to at least the 12th century, with deep roots in the Margaux region of Bordeaux and a reputation for exceptional quality. The 1979 release came during a pivotal period when the estate had recently been revitalized under new stewardship, restoring both its vineyards and stature. This expression, from the Margaux appellation, blends varieties that reflect the estate’s heritage, drawing from a complex terroir of gravelly, clay-limestone soils uniquely suited to this style.
This vintage presents a dark ruby to purple hue, with a moderately intense bouquet showcasing sweet black currant, mineral nuances, and delicate floral accents like rose or dried violet. Medium-bodied and refined, it reveals layers of dark fruit, cedar, and subtle earth, framed by silky texture and harmonious sweetness. Enjoy it alongside rich red-meat dishes—think perfectly roasted beef—that echo its depth and seamless elegance in just one or two bites.
