Chateau Marquis D'Alesme Margaux 2016

The 2016 Chateau Marquis DAlesme Margaux is an exceptional Third Growth Bordeaux blend consisting of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. This vintage marked the estates transition to entirely organic farming and is widely considered its finest production to date, earning high praise for its deep garnet-purple color and complex aromatic profile of crème de cassis, black plum, menthol, and Moroccan spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured with tightly-knit, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant freshness that leads into a long, fragrant finish. While approachable with decanting, it possesses the structural integrity to evolve beautifully in the cellar through 2050, making it an outstanding value for collectors of classic Margaux.
