Château Dauzac Margaux Gran Cru Classé 2020

The Margaux area certainly needs no introduction within the Bordeaux appellation. It is here, in fact, that some of the most famous Châteaus in the area are to be found. Among these is Château Dauzac, which offers this marvellous red wine, produced from a selection of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes (72%) and Merlot for the remainder. Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted on sorting tables, before and after destemming. All processing of Château Dauzac takes place by gravity, without the aid of pumps or chemical agents, and with natural yeasts from the vineyard. Vinification in wooden vats, pumping is avoided to optimise maceration. Gentle pumping over takes place during fermentation, which favours optimal tannin extraction. At the end of the fermentation and malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in French oak barrels, at least two thirds of which are first-passage barrels, for a period of no less than 15 months. 100% vegan, this wine presents itself in the glass with a beautiful deep garnet red colour. The nose captivates with its aromatic richness and the characteristic tension of the greatest vintages. Notes of violets, chocolate, iodine, blackcurrants, plums and cloves. In the mouth, however, it reveals a medium body, with 'ultra-fine' and creamy tannins that perfectly balance the roundness brought by the fruit. Creamy and caressing, this is the red that should be bought and forgotten for years in the cellar. It will be at its best until 2050, and even beyond... For several decades.
