The Story

Since the 17th Century, the first wine of Château Margaux has been recognised as being one of the greatest wines in the entire world. It owes its unique qualities to the genius of its terroir as well as to the passionate work of a succession of generations. It’s a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics that are only rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness. Although its tan...

Wine Information

2010: Weather
Winter was quite cold and dry, causing some delay in the budding. Mixed weather conditions in the spring made the flowering process uneven and caused a little coulure in some of the older Merlot plots. Yet, as always, the great terroirs appear to have set their own agenda and ignored the vagaries of the weather, enjoying a fast and homogenous flowering process with perfect results. Then again, the Cabernet Sauvignon, which is so...

Vuosikerta 2010

Drought and cool temperatures contribute to optimal ripeness

The sum of summer temperatures in 2010 was close to that of summer 2009 (962°C compared to 982°C), but significantly colder than those of 2005, which totaled 1052°C. These cool temperatures had a substantial influence on the balance of our wines, preserving a good level of acidity and an attractive aromatic freshness.

Very little precipitation (only 267 mm) from March to August...

This was phenomenal from barrel and remains so. The aromas are spellbinding. It smells like a bouquet of pink roses and then goes to currants, berries and citrus. Full body, with wonderfully refined tannins. It starts discretely and then grows to different levels and dimensions like a slow but big high tide. The texture is so beautiful. Try it in 2020 or beyond.

Château Margaux 2010 is sheer magic – think classic, with a twist. Classic indeed, thanks to its purity, finesse and soft and refreshing finish. Add to these qualities astonishing aromatic complexity and outstanding power and the result is an exceptional year. Technology and stringent selection make it a “modern” wine, while its magnitude and charm ensure a timeless Château Margaux vintage. This 2010 is beyond the realms of time and fickle fashions.

Superb colour, a lovely concentration of polished flavours that stay on the palate forever, unbelievable freshness and density, a truly great wine. Drink 2020-50.

The 2010 Château Margaux is refulgent in colour with little ageing on the rim. The bouquet is stunning: brilliant definition, very mineral driven at first, becoming more floral with aeration. Blackberry, hints of graphite, iris more than violet here. The palate is really the complete package, combining the power and finesse that this First Growth delivers like few others when it is in top flight. There is a sense of symmetry here, everything perfectly balanced, tensile and brimming with energy. For sure, it is a long-term proposition and you might interpret that the finish is severe. Rather, it’s just too young to be approached and it will require a decade in bottle before it is anywhere close to ready. What a monumental Margaux this is turning out to be, perhaps even better than I thought. Tasted at the château. 2025 - 2065

The amazingly complex 2010 Margaux has a deep ruby colour, with striking aromatics of sweet violets, cedar, blackberries and ripe blackcurrants, leading to rich, pure fruit flavours and deep, velvety tannins on the palate, and a very long finish. The 90% Cabernet Sauvignon has clearly added density and richness to this wine, which will need at least 10 years of bottle age to reveal itself.

Consistent notes. Great elegance and class, stunning depth and structure, velvety, sweet cherries, wonderful balance, great depth, extremely long and lingering aftertaste. Heavenly stuff.

Ruby, floral, pure blackcurrants, violets, roses, layers. So elegant, fresh and mouthwatering acidity, tannins massive and ripe, yet the wine feels elegant and almost velvety already on the palate, superb texture, and incredible length. For me the wine of the vintage (as it was in 09)

TASTINGNOTE Den bästa Margaux jag någonsin provat har just fötts, det kommer säkert att sträcka sig över många generationer. Det verkar som om vi har fått en riktig klassiker! Mogna svarta vinbär Cabernet och markerade Médoc-grusiga aromämnen, långlivad, avväpnande, och mycket mineraler i doftbilden, och omedelbara intryck av sammetsstruktur, en vackert, utsökt rik Margaux, med tanniner av sådan finess att de är nästan är omärkbara… Generös resonans i eftersmaken; gott och raffinerad, en smak som fylls av renhet, densitet och delikatess i en sagolikt smekande konsistens, och med en enormt ihållande mun-beläggande film av subtila aromer och stor yppig av frukt. En ihärdig smakintensitet utan kraft – den verkliga kvintessensen av Margaux! Oändligt graciös, doftande längd. Ett magnifikt vackert uttryck för Margaux. MOGNAD 2020–40+.

Sisäpiiritietoa

The 2010 is a brilliant Chateau Margaux, as one might expect in this vintage. The percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend hit 90%, the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and only 38% of the crop made it into the Chateau Margaux. Paul Pontallier, the administrator, told me that this wine has even higher levels of tannin than some other extraordinary vintages such as 2005, 2000, 1996, etc. Deep purple, pure and intense, with floral notes, tremendous opulence and palate presence, this is a wine of considerable nobility. With loads of blueberry, black currant and violet-infused fruit and a heady alcohol level above 13.5% (although that looks modest compared to several other first growths, particularly Chateau Latour and Chateau Haut-Brion), its beautifully sweet texture, ripe tannin, abundant depth and profound finish all make for another near-perfect wine that should age effortlessly for 30-40 years.
