Tasting Notes

The Château Mongravey 2023 Margaux, recognized as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, is a classic, savory Bordeaux blend dominated by 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. On the nose, it offers a seductive, layered bouquet of cassis, blackcurrant, dark cherry, and raspberry, accented by delicate floral nuances, licorice, espresso crema, and elegant oak spices. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, rich, and harmonious, showcasing a broad core of mulled blackberry and plum preserve wrapped in fine-grained, dusty tannins and a touch of ripe olive. It concludes with a fresh, persistent finish wafting with hints of incense and singed alder. This structured, elegant red pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted meats, game dishes like venison, pressed or strong cheeses, and wild mushroom pie.
