The blend is 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 12% Petit Verdot
Interestingly, as the wine continues its march to official biodynamic certification, the wine was matured in 70% oak barrels and, excitingly, 30% new clay amphorae, which naturally create convection currents to delicately stir the wine, adding real texture and depth of flavour.
James Suckling
“Lots of blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors with licorice and tar. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a long, creamy finish. Best of the trilogy”. 92-93 points

“Deepest crimson with smudgy rim. Lively, fresh aroma with the fruit not the oak to the fore… definitely one of the more approachable and digestible Margaux 2020s I have tasted. Hint of chocolate on the finish”. 16 (out of 20) points
