Chateau des Eyrins Margaux 2016

This classic Margaux possesses finesse and power that Bordeaux collectors expect from highly acclaimed vintages. A complex nose of cassis, plum and floral notes leads the way into a palate that is rich with cherry, red currant, black cherry, cocoa, and an underlying elegance synonymous with Left Bank beauties. The balance between the bold dark fruit and structure, with nuances of charcuterie, mineral and spicy oak adding complexity, is marvelously consistent with its pedigree while defying the humble price tag. Drink over the next 10 years. – August 2023

Chateau des Eyrins Winery

Chateau des Eyrins Margaux is an ultra-rare Margaux bottling hailing from a tiny 3
hectare vineyard cultivated by Eric Grangerou, whose father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather were all cellar masters at Château Margaux.
Located next to esteemed Margaux producer Château Lascombes, this up-and-coming
Château has both the vineyard pedigree and winemaking talent to compete with top-tier
Bordeaux at half the price since Eyrins is still under the radar among mainstream critics
and collectors.
