About the Product

Classification: 1er Grand Cru Classé
Drinking Window: 2024-2055

Analytical Data

Alcohol ABV: 13%
Sweetness: Dry

Production Attributes

Maturation: Oaked
Oak Type: French
Winemaker: Paul Pontalier
Ownership: Corinne Mentzelopoulos
Harvest date: 29th September - 10th October
Closure Type: Cork
Vintage Notes: After a very wet and mild winter, without any significant cold spells, spring was « normal »: May was rather cool and June was quite warm, so flowering happened on the usual dates, and under very favourable conditions; it was therefore very quick and homogenous, contrary to the previous year. July didn’t bring us any great surprises, but August was particularly cool, without doubt one of the coldest we have seen in recent times. These low temperatures made it difficult for the grapes to change colour, which took a long time. Fortunately it didn’t rain much, but in neither July nor August did we have a really dry spell. As it often happens in Bordeaux, at the end of August anything was still possible; a prospect of a good vintage as well as of a mediocre one. The really fine sunny weather of September brought us exactly what we were hoping for: the heat and drought enabled the grapes to ripen perfectly, and the harvest to take place under ideal conditions.

96 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2014 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2017

Showing more aromatic complexity after just a few additional months in bottle, truffle, herbs, cedar, lead pencil, and dark, red fruits are impossible to avoid. Medium full bodied, with soft, polished tannins, elegant styling and a freshness to the lingering, sweet, red, spicy fruits. This should drink well relatively early for Margaux. Perhaps another decade will be enough for this wine to begin showing well. 96 Points

Von grosser Dichte und Frische, delikat, herrlich seidiges Tannin; ein Bilderbuch-Margaux, der nicht durch Konzentration, sondern durch Frische, Finesse und Delikatesse beeindruckt.

2014 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2017

The purity of cabernet sauvignon fruit is what impresses here. Subtle and energetic plum and currant aromas follow through to a gorgeously harmonized palate of wonderful fruit and an ultra-long finish. Current bush and light earth adds to the complexity. Lasts for minutes. Drink in 2022.

2014 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2017

There is a sense of pure juicy black-currant fruit that shoots through this great wine. With tannins that are firm while not a jot too much, the wine is crisp, packed with fruit and set for many years of aging. It is beautiful, fruity and intensely structured. Drink from 2027.

2014 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2015

Sehr intensiv und komplex nach Cassis, Thymian, auch etwas Erdig-Würziges in der Frucht, eine Spur Hefe, karamelltöniges Holz. Am Gaumen mit einer ziemlich perfekten Extraktion: Der viskose Rahmen ist gefüllt mit mürbem, gleichzeitig festem und gut Saft freigebendem Gerbstoff, wodurch sowohl die Viskosität als auch der Tannindruck diskreter erscheinen, als sie sind. Gut eingebundene Säure, homogener Fluss, im Finish allerdings (momentan) recht mittelgewichtig.

The 2014 vintage for Bordeaux is often overlooked but has some real gems.

The winter was extremely mild, the warmest in 10 years but it also brought vast volumes of rain. January and February were particularly waterlogged, which created extremely humid conditi...
