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.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

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

The **2017 vintage** faced early challenges due to frost, yet the resulting wines from top terroirs like Margaux offer purity, precision, and early accessibility without compromising aging potential.

Despite Margaux being a slightly more difficult region for the Medoc in 2017, this estate has fashioned an incredible 2017 Chateaux Margaux that’s unquestionably in the same league as the 2015 and 2016, and that’s saying something. Based on 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot representing a draconian selection of just 22% of the total production, it reveals a deep purple/ruby hue as well as stunning notes of creme de cassis, blueberries, crushed violets, unsmoked tobacco, and Asian spice. With flawless tannins, medium to full body, brilliant concentration, and a great, great finish, it's easily one of the standouts in the vintage. It’s already stunning, yet a good 7-8 years of bottle age are warranted, and it should cruise for 20-25 years in cold cellars. Reviewed by: Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: February 2020.

The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to reveal alluring notes of blackcurrant cordial, Black Forest cake and black raspberries with suggestions of candied violets, tilled soil, fallen leaves, licorice and espresso plus wafts of underbrush and rosehip tea. Medium-bodied, the elegance and finesse on the palate is simply bedazzling, exuding a quiet intensity of fresh black fruits layered with oh-so-subtle floral and earth nuances. It has a soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness to support the tightly wound flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful! This grand vin accounts for just 37% of the crop.

Vinous

One of the clear highlights on the Left Bank, the 2017 Margaux is magnificent. Soaring in intensity, the 2017 exudes class from the very first taste. Margaux is so often a wine of charm and seduction, but the 2017 is anything but that. Instead, Margaux is dark, somber and mysterious, with layers of sepia-toned nuance that opens up with time in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon, picked 5 days later than first anticipated, is especially prominent. The 2017 is going to need a number of years to be at its very best, but it is a super-promising wine. Wow.
