Experience was great. Fast service and came as ordered. Discovered Ontanon 2015 Reserva at their winery in Rioja, Spain during a recent visit and was very happy to find it available at B21. After receiving the case I decided to order another case. I am very happy doing business with B21 and recommend them as a great place to find your wines.

2016 Chateau Margaux (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaux, Bordeaux, France

B-21 Top Recommendation

“The wonderful combination of refinement and power”

James Suckling

Described by Decanter as “one of Bordeaux's most refined first growths,” the elegant Chateau Margaux is a seductive charmer built on powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, this trio of captivating 100 pt. vintages offering rich enticing fruit with Margaux’s signature floral aromatics and dense, silky tannins built for decades of aging, delivered in perfect provenance at best on the market pricing.

Approached on an enchanting tree lined drive leading up to impressive iron gates, the magnificent Chateau Margaux is housed in a neo-Palladian building designed by famed Bordeaux architect Louis Combes, its two-story columns inspired by the Pantheon and surrounded by a small village that includes an onsite cooperage and a start of the art winery designed to blend seamlessly with the 17th century Chateaux. Showing an unwavering commitment to Margaux for over four decades, owner Corinne Menzelopoulos began working with legendary consulting enologist Emile Peynaud in the 1980’s to dramatically improve quality at her family’s estate, lowering yields and implementing stricter selection with only about a third of production making the cut for the Grand Vin. Managed by director Philippe Bascaules since 2017, the 82 hectare vineyard is planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon in some of “the poorest gravel soils in the appellation” according to Bordeaux expert Jane Anson, protected from frost by its proximity to the Gironde Estuary and surrounded by newly planted trees to increase biodiversity. Aged in 100% new French oak, the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown calls the luxurious 100 pt. 2018 Chateau Margaux “a classic Margaux at its most seductive, while Antonio Galloni describes it as “dense and explosive in the glass,” summing it up as “a dramatic wine that will thrill readers lucky enough to own it.” Described as “quite stunning” by Neal Martin of Vinous, the breathtaking 100 pt. 2019 Chateau Margaux offers “a strikingly vibrant core of fruit” that’s “complex, elegant and utterly compelling” according to the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley with “a wonderful balance of having an immediate drinking appeal but also the structure, power and density to age” according to Decanter’s Georgina Hindle. Declared “a Margaux for the ages” by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, the alluring 100 pt. 2020 Chateau Margaux reveals “supple and plentiful tannins that have no intention of relinquishing their hold for decades to come” according to critic Anson, described as boasting “remarkable purity as well as flawless balance” by Jeb Dunnuck who declares “I love everything about this wine.”

Elegantly expressing “the quintessence of terroir” according to the Wine Advocate, these alluring 100 pt. Chateau Margaux vintages offer a rare opportunity to acquire perfectly rated Bordeaux directly from the Chateau for a fortunate few, promising to reward a little patient cellaring and echoing the words of Jeb Dunnuck ready to “blow you away any time over the coming 40+ years.”

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Chateau Margaux is deep garnet-purple in color. It is a real struggle to shake loose the aromas, this is so shut down at the moment. Eventually, notes of crème de cassis, blackberry pie, and blueberry compote begin to emerge, followed by licorice, dark chocolate, cumin seed, truffles, and iron ore suggestions. Full-bodied and full-on rich and seductive, the palate is absolutely crammed with bright, crunchy black fruit layers, framed by astonishingly ripe, finely grained tannins and amazing tension, finishing with a firework display of minerals, flowers, and exotic spices. Sell your car and get a few cases of this - you won't regret it!

100 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent (Dec 2022)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long.

99 points, Wine Advocate (Nov 2018)

With a rare 94% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, this wine is packed both with black-currant flavors and impressive tannins and acidity. It moves Château Margaux into a new dimension with its dense, dry core of tannins that will power the wine into a seriously long-term future. Drink from 2025.

99 points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (May 2019)

It’s very friendly and warm on the nose showing flowers, such as roses, and red fruit. But then on the palate, it lets you know how serious it is. Full-bodied, yet reserved, extremely tight and well-formed with super polished tannins that go on for minutes. A solid and typical Margaux with all the personality and beauty in strength. Try after 2027.

99 points, James Suckling (Dec 2019)

Showing consistently and from a bottle purchased locally and drunk over multiple days, the 2016 Château Margaux is a magical wine that tastes like the essence of Margaux. Red and black currants, blueberries, spring flowers, sandalwood, and crushed violet notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, elegant, seamless profile, gorgeous concentration, and a great finish. The level of freshness, purity, and precision paired with concentration and intensity is truly something to behold. It has some accessibility even today, yet it's going to take another decade for this to come close to the early stages of its prime drinking window. It's going to be a 50-75+ year wine.

98 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Feb 2023)

The 2016 Château Margaux has an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar, crushed stone and subtle cedar aromas that enrapture the senses; hints of pencil box and sous-bois emerge with time. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and a touch of bitterness lends tension on the finish. Impressive – very impressive. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
