Château Margaux Premier Cru Classé 2016 is an iconic red wine from Margaux in Bordeaux, France, combining depth, elegance, and an almost effortless finesse in an expression found only in the greatest wines. The 2016 vintage is considered one of the most impressive in recent times, and Château Margaux demonstrates its unique ability to combine intensity, precision, and silky structure with an aristocratic lightness, making the wine both grand and unforgettable.

On the nose, the wine opens with layers of blackcurrant, black cherry, and dark plum, beautifully lifted by violet, cedarwood, cigar box, graphite, and fine spicy undertones. The aromatic profile is deep, complex, and extremely elegant with remarkable purity, where fruit, floral notes, and classic Margaux character clearly emerge. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated, and at the same time incredibly refined with silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and a long, persistent finish where dark fruit, minerality, and spice merge in perfect harmony. The result is a wine of immense depth, great precision, and exceptional aging potential.

Château Margaux 2016 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, duck, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. It is a wine for special moments and for those seeking one of Bordeaux's most prestigious wines with finesse, complexity, and timeless French elegance.

99 /100

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

98 /100

Ripe ruby red, with vivid starry reflections, crushed red rose petals on the opening. Easy to sink into the cured leather, white truffle, raspberry puree and redcurrant fruits, all held in place by still taut tannic architecture. This has still-evolving depths and character, with layered complexity. Delicious, a wine that retains its reserve at ten years old and will reward further cellaring. 100% new oak. Paul Pontallier’s last vintage, although Sebastien Vergne oversaw harvest, with Philippe Bascaules returning from Napa to take over the director’s role.

99 /100

With a rare 94% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, this wine is packed both with black-currant flavors and impressive tannins and acidity. It moves Château Margaux into a new dimension with its dense, dry core of tannins that will power the wine into a seriously long-term future. Drink from 2025. Roger Voss

Wine Enthusiast

97 /100

Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, subtle brightening on the rim. Clear noble wood savouriness, ripe cherry notes, floral touch, fresh orange zest and a hint of cedar. Juicy, red berries on the palate, fine sweetness, well integrated tannins and on the finish, some nougat and a touch of caramel. This is a rather light-footed, elegant vintage which will be drinking well soon.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
