Description
Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Merlot; 2.5% Cabernet Franc; 2.5% Petit Verdot.
Emmanuel Cruse explained that the yield is lower this year, partly due to mildew pressure but also drought. Although the Margaux commune received more rain than its northern neighbours, the sandier soils retained it poorly. Regardless, this remains a most attractive and appealing wine. Charming red and dark fruit aromas are wrapped by very smooth tannins. There is a little more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend this year, giving the wine more linearity. This is a wine likely to impress more in the coming months.
