2017 Chateau Margaux – First Growth Grace from the Margaux Appellation
The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a poised and classical expression from one of Bordeaux’s most iconic First Growth estates. Born from the commune of Margaux, this vintage embodies elegance, aromatic finesse, and the château’s signature refinement even in a challenging growing season.
Tasting Notes
Opening with delicate aromas of red currants, violets, and cedar, the wine evolves with notes of graphite, dried rose petals, and a touch of black tea. On the palate, the 2017 Margaux is silky and focused, showing refined tannins, pure red fruit, and a lifted mineral finish that underscores its finesse and aging potential.

Composed of approximately **89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot**, the wine was matured for **18–22 months in 100% new French oak barrels**. The estate’s deep gravel soils and meticulous parcel selection allowed for extraordinary quality despite reduced yields from spring frost.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a testament to the château’s precision and terroir-driven approach. Its restrained power and classical profile make it a standout among collectors of First Growth Bordeaux. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
