      The Wine

      Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates in Bordeaux, with a history reaching back to the sixteenth century and a place among the five First Growths (Premier Grand Cru Classé) named in the 1855 classification. Owning a bottle is, in a real sense, owning a piece of wine history.

      The 2001 is a well-regarded Margaux vintage known for ageing gracefully, and this blend — 82% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc — has had well over two decades to settle. Expect flowers, crème de cassis, blackberry and cedar on the nose, then a medium to full-bodied palate of dark fruit compote, cocoa butter, earth, leather and tobacco over fine-grained tannins that have long since softened. Elegant, structured, and very long.

      Questions

      What does First Growth mean?

      Premier Grand Cru Classé — the top tier of the 1855 Médoc classification, shared by only a handful of estates.

      How much wine is 3 litres?

      Four standard bottles, roughly twenty-four glasses — a genuine centrepiece for a large occasion.

      How should I handle a mature large format?

      Stand it upright for a day, decant slowly off the sediment, and serve at 16–18°C. Older wine in large format usually needs less air than a young bottle.
