Margaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. Located 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the city of Bordeaux, the appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, which can show excellent structure and longevity.
Red Bordeaux Blends are known for their powerful structure and deep flavors. Dark fruits and berries such as plum and blackcurrant are commonly used to describe the flavors of red Bordeaux, although there is an unlimited range of terms that have been ascribed to them. Tannins tend to be relatively high in these wines, giving them a firm structure.
Tasting note: "Deep, dark, virtually opaque ruby-red. Very lifted aromas comprise a compote of red & black berries. The palate is fresh & open, again showing a melange of jammy red & black fruits. The wine is of mid-weight, has some tannic grip, warming alcohol, fresh acidity & good length."
