2018 Château Larruau Margaux

$39.99
2018 Château Larruau Margaux

These are the last bottles we have to offer, having tasted this wine again two weeks ago, and it blew us away! Château Larruau is an incredible Bordeaux value, located within walking distance of Rauzan-Ségla and sharing a border with vineyards from the first-growth Château Margaux. This is very prime real estate, and while once the site of classified growth, it now offers one of the best values in Bordeaux. There are not many wines available from Margaux at this price, yet this is a serious bottle of Bordeaux from a great terroir. We have been selling this wine for almost two decades, and we are pleased to report that 2018 is among the finest young examples we have tasted from this Château. The 2018 Bordeaux vintage has shaped up to be rather excellent, and though it was a riper year, which gives the wines some lovely upfront fruit, there is plenty of structure and concentration. However, let's remember the elegance for which the Margaux appellation is noted, which Larruau beautifully showcases. 2018 possesses lovely aromas of cassis, violets, graphite, game, and some baking spices. The palate is concentrated but so light on its feet, with lingering notes of cassis and spices that fan out on the finish like a peacock's tail. This is a stunning bottle for the Bordeaux lover, offering early accessibility with the stuffing to age for decades or two. It is a magnificent, hidden gem of Margaux and a great buy, especially at this price!
