ROBERT PARKER “The Chateau Margaux is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with no Merlot this year due to coulure and was picked between 30 September and 11 October. It represents 38% of the total harvest. It has a very masculine slightly earthy bouquet, a little more introverted than previous vintages, opening with time to reveal its trademark dried violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, silky smooth on the entry. There is not a huge weight in the mouth but it glides or rather flows nicely. It is a seductive Margaux, not a long-term wine for the estate but a success considering the vintage. Tasted April 2014.”

Key Features & Benefits
Crafted using meticulous traditional methods complemented by modern precision, Chateau Margaux 2013 is a masterpiece of winemaking artistry. The grapes—primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc—were hand-harvested from the estate’s carefully tended vineyards. This ensures exceptional purity and balance in the final blend.
The wine underwent slow fermentation in oak vats followed by aging for 18 months in new French oak barrels, imparting subtle spice and complexity. Compared to other Bordeaux offerings, this vintage delivers a harmonious structure and remarkable aging potential—making it a prized addition for collectors seeking both immediate pleasure and long-term value.
Heritage & Collectibility
Chateau Margaux, established in the 16th century, enjoys a heritage synonymous with aristocratic refinement and winemaking innovation. The 2013 vintage is particularly coveted due to its limited production run, with only select bottles released worldwide.
Its prominence in auction houses and increasing market demand further solidify its status as an investment-grade collectible. Owning a bottle from this vintage not only reflects a connoisseur’s appreciation for wine history but also offers a strategic asset with proven appreciation potential.
Sensory Profile & Usage
This 2013 Chateau Margaux enchants with a deep garnet hue presenting aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and violets, layered with nuanced hints of graphite and tobacco. On the palate, it reveals a velvety texture balanced by vibrant acidity and refined tannins, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
For optimal enjoyment, decant the wine for at least one hour and serve at 16-18°C. Store bottles horizontally in a cool, humid cellar to preserve integrity, and pair ideally with premium lamb dishes, game, or aged cheeses to elevate special occasions.
