Lisa Perrotti-Brown 98 points www.robertparker.com (mars 2020) The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to reveal alluring notes of blackcurrant cordial, Black Forest cake and black raspberries with suggestions of candied violets, tilled soil, fallen leaves, licorice and espresso plus wafts of underbrush and rosehip tea. Medium-bodied, the elegance and finesse on the palate is simply bedazzling, exuding a quiet intensity of fresh black fruits layered with oh-so-subtle floral and earth nuances. It has a soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness to support the tightly wound flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful! This grand vin accounts for just 37% of the crop.
Antonio Galloni 97 points www.vinous.com (mars 2020) One of the clear highlights on the Left Bank, the 2017 Margaux is magnificent. Soaring in intensity, the 2017 exudes class from the very first taste. Margaux is so often a wine of charm and seduction, but the 2017 is anything but that. Instead, Margaux is dark, somber and mysterious, with layers of sepia-toned nuance that opens up with time in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon, picked 5 days later than first anticipated, is especially prominent. The 2017 is going to need a number of years to be at its very best, but it is a super-promising wine. Wow.
Jean-Marc Quarin 97 www.quarin.com Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Grand nez complexe, fin, fruité, pur, finement grillé et même profond. La minutie tactile de l’entrée en bouche est remarquable. Le vin se développe sans cesse pulpeux, avant de libérer une saveur de fruits noirs qui scintille dans la persistance. C’est superbe, long, très minutieusement réalisé, avec un grain très fin.
