The Chateau needs no introduction…it is ranked as one of the 5 greatest grand crus of France and year after year produces wines of power yet subtlety that challenge the mind and palate of aficianados. The 2000 vintage has been ranked as magnificent, incredible and potentially legendary in tasting notes from around the world beginning in 2001 at the Chateau itself.

An experienced taster gave the 2000 vintage 98 of a possible 100 points during the 2004 Wine Experience: Ch. Margaux Vertical at Chicago’s Hyatt Regency. Otisabdul wrote: Simply an incredible wine, with perhaps the best young Bordeaux nose I have ever experienced. Suckling rated it a modern classic and wrote: “this wine is like a tightly knit ball of cashmere….” Added Pontallier: “the complexity makes it difficult to describe…there is an extraordinary impression of broadness, depth, anmd length. Its noticeable power does not translate into aggression. You can leave it in your mouth for minutes and get exhausted well before the wine does. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% meerlot, 5% Cabernet Franc/PV.”
