Château Margaux--Vintage 1996
1 dozen bottles per lot
CHÂTEAU MARGAUX Wines like the 1900, 1945, 1990, 1996, and 2003 Château Margaux have solidified Margaux's stature as one of the top communes of the Médoc. Margaux is unique among the communes of the Médoc: it is the farthest south (isolated from its three famous cousins to the north, St.-Estèphe, St.-Julien and Pauillac) and is made up of several non-contiguous parcels of vineyard land. The appellation of Margaux encompasses the village of Margaux, of course, as well as the villages of Cantenac, Soussans, Labarde, and Arsac. Ideally, the limestone, chalk, clay and sand of Margaux combine (especially where gravel dominates, facilitating drainage) to make a fragrant and silky wine. More Margaux properties were included in the famous classification of 1855 than any other but, unfortunately, many of these châteaux underperformed in the '70s and '80s. The offering before you represents the greatest of what Margaux has to offer, as well as enough OWCs to make any collector drool. Château Margaux--Vintage 1996 Margaux, 1er cru classé All lots in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 179-200, 201-203, 204-206 and 208-225 1 dozen bottles per lot
