The lightest of the Beaujolais Cru's. A wine with intense black fruit aromas which pairs delightfully with charcuterie.
Cracking complexity on the nose which is buttery and nutty. The palate combines stone fruit character with crisp apple and a creamy texture finished with length and depth.
A delicious example of this of this classic wine. Its full rich flavours show delicious tropical fruit character with a subtle hint of smokiness.
With a purple hue this Grand Cru exhales aromas of cassis, saffron and earthiness. In the mouth the tannins envelop a lovely cherry fruitiness and are powerful yet silky.
This Bourgogne has an eloquent, fruity bouquet displaying hints of strawberry and cherry. Well-balanced and smooth, this is a delicious, easy-drinking wine.
Fresh and intense Nuits St Georges with aromas of wet soil and red fruits. The palate is rich and intense with red berry dominance and liquorice supporting. The finish is elegant. These flavours will harmonise over time, adding to the complexity.
A nose of cherry develops to a rich palate of raspberry and warming spice. Pleasant and easy drinking.
Classic high quality claret that has plenty of aging potential due to its balance of delicate subtlety and sturdy structure. The palate is complex and the finish lasting but the best is still to come from this vintage.
Ripe black fruit fills the nose with cassis characteristics developing and combining beautifully with spicy notes. The palate is full with rich concentration and an intense purity, the wine finishes with class and elegance.
This outstanding vintage has all the rich fruit character you'd expect from Marguax with this wine's best arguably still to come. It is a touch more lively than aniticipated with good tannic backbone. A well made wine which we would expect from this third growth estate.
