Château Margaux 2004 is an exceptional red wine from one of the most illustrious estates in Bordeaux's Left Bank. Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and a touch of Cabernet Franc, this vintage gracefully expresses the elegance and longevity for which Margaux is renowned. The 2004 season saw a temperate summer and excellent September conditions, resulting in perfectly ripe and balanced fruit. The wine spent an extended period ageing in new French oak barrels, granting it refined structure, complexity, and subtlety. In its glass, expect layered aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cedar, and graphite, while on the palate, the wine reveals silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a lingering finish marked by notes of dark fruit, spice, and minerals.
The Margaux appellation is celebrated for producing some of Bordeaux’s most perfumed and graceful wines. Located in the southern Médoc, Margaux benefits from a moderate maritime climate influenced by the nearby Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. Well-drained gravel soils warm quickly under the sun and are ideal for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon to perfection, imparting hallmark finesse, fragrant bouquet, and a distinctive sensuality to the wines. Château Margaux itself is steeped in history, with winemaking on the estate dating back centuries and a legacy shaped by tradition, innovation, and an unyielding pursuit of excellence.
In terms of food pairing, Château Margaux 2004 shines alongside classic French cuisine and refined dishes that emphasise subtlety and depth. It is superb with roast lamb—especially rack of lamb or saddle with rosemary jus—marinated duck breast, or beef Wellington. For a regional touch, consider a canard aux cèpes (duck with porcini mushrooms) or entrecôte à la bordelaise. Mature hard cheeses like Comté or aged Beaufort also make fabulous partners, enhancing the wine’s complexity.
Serve this wine at 17-18°C, ideally after decanting for at least an hour to allow the bouquet and the gentle evolution of tertiary flavours to fully emerge. Enjoy it now for its balance and sophistication or cellar it longer to savour its extraordinary ageing potential.
