Château Margaux 2016 (6 BT)

Château Margaux 2016 

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

Cabernet Sauvignon 94%, Cabernet Franc 3%, Merlot 2%, Petit Verdot 1%. Only 28% of the crop made it into the grand vin. In 2021, this has taken on great weight since the en primeur tastings. The huge fruit is there, statuesque. It really fills the mouth and needs time to develop all its layers, which are mega refined, as one would expect at Margaux. The comparison with the 2015 is fascinating and no one should miss it! Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly-respected merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic taste of the late owner is obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fifth Growths, together with an outstanding representation of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s tastes with a small selection of Super Tuscans and iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past decade in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
