Château Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2016 (3000ml)

2015 was, literally, an historic year at Chateau Margaux. They celebrated the bicentenary of the Estate's buildings dating from 1815, and the inauguration of the new facilities, designed or reorganised, by Norman Foster. Regarding the vintage, some of the result is owed to decisions made at the time of blending; only 35% of the harvest went into the first wine, which was a record of severity for a vintage of this standard. As usual, it was the Cabernet Sauvignon in first place with 87% of the blend; in addition to its concentration and finesse, this year it has an unusual vigour and strength. The Merlot has nothing to be ashamed of, at least in the great plots; it makes up 8% of the first wine. Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (2%) also find their place in this elitist blend, which confirms that, enable all grape varieties to express their own propensity.
