Similar in its gorgeous aromatics to the Pavillon Rouge, it shows cassis, blue fruits, and spice, but with a touch more freshness and floral character. It's absolutely seamless on the palate, with full body, a deep, layered, pure, graceful mouthfeel, velvety, polished tannins, flawless balance, and sensational length. Hitting 13.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.72, they took a chance harvesting very late in September, finishing on the 29th, and it unquestionably paid off. While many of the wines of the vintage are beautiful in their richness and elegance,\u003cstrong\u003e this hits another level of opulence and depth. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt reminds me of the 2009 on the palate and is a legendary Margaux in the making. ~ 98-100 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Château Margaux is a deep, authoritative wine that represents some 37% of the estate's production this year. Unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, violets, lilac and pencil shavings, framed by a deft touch of new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins and lively acids. This will certainly require some patience, but \u003cstrong\u003eit is a prodigious Château Margaux in the making. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt checks in at 13.8% alcohol and a pH of 3.72. ~ 97-100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe texture of this wine is exceptional, with black currant, dark plum, chocolate and orange blossom aromas. Full-bodied with round and creamy tannins that fill the mouth and give a caressing texture.\u003cstrong\u003e Very long and seductive. Gentle at the end. It's lush, velvety and luxurious. \u003c\/strong\u003e89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. ~ 98-99 James Suckling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2025 Château Margaux was picked at 22 hl\/ha between 10 and 29 September. This year it represents 37% of the total crop, a little down on recent vintages, and was matured in 100% new oak as usual. The first thing that you notice on this Château Margaux is the purity of fruit, a signature of the First Growth but taken to its maximum in this vintage. Perfumed blueberry, crushed violet and iris flower, a touch of iodine and a distant trace of the estuary. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins, fine delineation and poise. There is backbone to this Margaux but it is disguised under the layers of pure blackberry and blueberry fruit, dovetailing into a lightly spiced but very persistent finish. I\u003cstrong\u003et fans out wonderfully, completing a very alluring wine in the making.\u003c\/strong\u003e This vintage contains 13.8% alcohol. ~ 96-98 Vinous Media \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh prune, some balsamic notes, fresh rose petals. Fragrant and dark notes, a touch of spice, some soft minerality. \u003cstrong\u003eJuicy and succulent \u003c\/strong\u003e– there’s acidity for sure but what stands out is the texture, so soft and creamy on the palate with bright but cool blueberry acidity, some liquorice spice, violet touches and a lot of graphite and pencil lead salinity on the finish. Clearly structured but so generous in terms of fruit purity. Quite a serious Pavillon. Started harvesting young vines on the 8 September, Merlots on 11th and Cabernets on 19th, finishing on the 29th. A yield of 22hl\/ha. 3.68pH. 78IPT. 28% second wine production, usually 30%. 12% press wine. 4% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. ~ 96 Decanter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Margaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810977460459,"sku":"CHMA25FUT","price":3067.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/files\/ChateauMargauxFUTURES6x750ml.jpg?v=1717124157","url":"https:\/\/www.bighammerwines.com\/products\/2025-chateau-margaux-futures-6-x-750ml","provider":"BigHammerWines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
