The 2015 vintage in Margaux
Vintage benchmark: 93/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A hot summer tempered by August rains gave expansive wines, with rounded tannins and generous fruit.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Margaux. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
