Château Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classé Red 2013 Margaux
Description
Vinification
Vinification of the first wine estate Chateau Margaux Grand Cru Classe from start to finish is carried out in oak barrels. The wine is poured into barrels immediately after the end of fermentation, around the end of October or beginning of November.
Wine aging
Matured Chateau Margaux only in new French oak barrels for 18-24 months. For the first six months, the barrels are positioned with the cork at the top. After six months, the barrels are turned over so that the cork is on the side, and the wine is stored like this until bottling. The wine is clarified with the help of egg white, but it is not filtered before bottling, therefore, over time, sediment may form at the bottom of the bottle.
Tasting notes
The wine has a deep ruby-cherry color. The wine captivates with a multifaceted, full, generous taste with a velvety texture, notes of raspberry, plum, Rooibos tea, minerals and sandalwood, with fine tannins and a long, seductive aftertaste. The aroma of wine is woven from notes of juicy black and red fruits, bay leaf, pepper and cedar. After a while, shades of plum, raspberry and mint appear in the bouquet.
