VINUM: "Rubinrot leuchtend; was für eine Nase, tiefgründig, umwerfend schön, ungemein floral, verspielt, ein Hauch von Zedern, Tannenharz, Veilchen, Waldfrüchte; hochelegant am Gaumen, ein Wein voller Lebensfreude und Energie, würzig, rotfruchtig, langanhaltend. Das ist eine Margaux-Delikatesse sondergleichen, schlank im Stil, jedoch mit einer Finesse, die seinesgleichen sucht. Das grosse Terroir spricht hier Bände."

ANSON: "Such a floral wine, aromatics that really take hold and grip on through the palate, raspberry, black cherry, edges of rosebud, chalk, white tea, crayon, chalk, iris, has real precision, and a slow-burn unspooling of flavours, salted cracker salinity on the finish. 46% of the overall production is in Château Margaux, 30hl/ha yield after sorting through the year as needed. Harvest September 23 to October 8. Philippe Bascaules director, 3.62ph. Excellent quality, one of the wines of the vintage, with a slightly earlier starting date for drinking than usual, eight years following harvest."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zartes Cassis, schwarze Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Brombeeren, angenehme Edelholzwürze, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, feine rote Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Johannisbeeren, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, reife Tannine, elegant und lange anhaftend, rotbeeriger Touch, ein delikater Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2024 Château Margaux has turned out beautifully, unfurling in the glass with notes of cassis, violets, cigar box and iris. Medium to full-bodied, deep and vibrant, with excellent density and concentration for the vintage, it's lively and layered, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. This is a serious, youthfully tightly wound blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc that attained 12.8% alcohol."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Fragrant but more complex and subtle than Pavillon Rouge. Smooth texture with plenty of tension and abundant, forceful but refined tannins. Long and explosive on the finish. Super-elegant and delicious to boot."
