Château Marquis d’Alesme 2015: An Acclaimed Margaux Masterpiece

Experience the pinnacle of Bordeaux elegance with this exceptional 2015 vintage from Margaux’s historic Château Marquis d’Alesme. Crafted from a sophisticated blend (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot), this collector’s wine delivers remarkable depth and aging potential.

Critics unanimously praise its power and finesse:
* James Suckling 94 pts: “Potentially the estate’s finest – powerful & rich yet polished. Notes of chocolate, spice & meat. Full-flavored with a long finish.”
* Vinous 94 pts: “Intense black cherry, blackberry & espresso aromas. Sumptuous, flamboyant & wonderfully fused for long-term enjoyment.”

Expect a captivating sensory journey: layers of steeped blackberry, black currant, and dark cherry fruit intertwine with complex hints of violet, warm espresso, fine leather, and exotic spices. Its structure is equally impressive – featuring velvety tannins and bright acidity that promise superb evolution over the next 15-20 years. While approachable now after decanting, true harmony emerges around 2023 onwards. Aged in 65% new oak under Michel Rolland’s consultancy, this full-bodied (14.5% alc.) Margaux red exemplifies modern sophistication within a classic framework.

Ideal for discerning collectors seeking a cellar-worthy investment or an unforgettable pairing with rich meats and aged cheeses.
