Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider May - 2018
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Deep, shiny, dark ruby in colour, this rocks as soon as the wine is out of the gate, or should I say out of the bottle and into your glass. Cherry blossoms and lilacs make it seem as though you are in a flower shop. On the palate, the wine is rich, full bodied and concentrated, yet the wine is light on its feet. There is a purity in the fruit that is off the hook. There is a sensuous, textural quality that makes it so you cannot help but take another sip, to make sure the experience is real, and because it is so good! The wine is a testament to Paul Pontallier, as this is in some ways, a culmination of his life's work.

Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows a wonderful blackcurrant purity on the palate, along with intense, vibrant acidity. The background is all tannin, which speaks to its ageing potential. This wine is the last vintage produced by Paul Pontallier, who was general manager from 1990 until his death in 2016. It's a memorable wine and one for ageing. Drink from 2027.

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle lightening at the rim. Delicately tobacco-like and hearty undertones, fine morello cherry fruit, delicate nougat and candied orange peel, multifaceted and inviting bouquet. Juicy, sweet extract, ripe cherries, silky sweetness, wonderful finesse, simply incredibly delicate and long-lasting. Presented in an exceptional set with screen-printed label as “Hommage à Paul Pontallier”.

Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Intense, fine, fruity, pure nose, with an aromatic ambience different from other vintages, closer to incense and spices, further from flowers. Mellow on the attack and immediately dense, the wine melts on the palate, extremely flavourful. Rich in the mid-palate, it stagnates, then begins to melt before finishing very long, very powerful, noble and impossible to spit out. Tannicity slightly more pronounced than in other years. I preferred it without decanting rather than decanted.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Medium garnet-purple coloured, the nose features oh-so-seductive notes of warm blackberries, cassis and black forest cake with touches of forest floor, sandalwood, anise and cigar boxes plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers taut, muscular, densely packed black fruits and exotic spice flavour layers supported by a very firm backbone of grainy tannins with oodles of freshness and a long, savoury finish. It is tightly knit and a little reticent at this very youthful stage; afford it at least 15 years in the cellar, and it will open out into a classic Château Margaux of incredible proportions. Readers may be interested to know that this wine is beautifully packaged in a special commemorative bottle honouring winemaker Paul Pontellier, who passed away in 2016. The gold-etched black bottle bears the message, “Hommage à Paul Pontellier” at the bottom. This 2015 is an achingly beautiful swan song from an incredibly gifted winemaker, taken from us too soon. In my view, this alone makes this vintage more than worth the investment for the many lovers of history in a bottle.

This vintage of Margaux has an amazing perfume of violets, cassis and layers of sweet spices. A seductive, powerful, intriguing Margaux that has both structure as well as intense power. The tannins are silky and persistent with a very long finish. A typical blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage.

Wine Spectator March - 2018

Sublime, with captivating sandalwood, black tea and mesquite aromas that infuse the core of gently steeped red and black currant and raspberry fruit. The structure is seamless and thoroughly embedded throughout, letting warm tar, lilac, juniper and iron notes display themselves at will through the finish. The finish is about as long as it gets, with echoes of fruit and warm earth that should prove haunting when this reaches full maturity. Best from 2030 through 2050.

Ideally embodies all the elegance and freshness, the special nobility of great Margaux, the purity, the refinement, complexity, freshness and length.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Heady, rich, right-bank sort of aroma. Thick and sweet. Flattering and concentrated but without lift or that much freshness. Rather edgy and awkward.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates of the Margaux appellation and a major historical figure of Bordeaux excellence. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, the château draws on a terroir of fine, deep gravels that encourages the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

The Grand Vin de Château Margaux has been recognised since the 17th century as one of the most accomplished expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. It owes its qualities to the combination of an exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture and a winemaking approach oriented towards precision and balance. The finesse of the tannins, the aromatic depth, the freshness and the length on the palate are the constant hallmarks of the Margaux style.

The great vintages punctuate its history, from the 1953 wine, then the 1982 vintage to the 1990 and the 2000 vintage, through to the 2015, regarded as one of the estate's recent pinnacles. Le Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, the second wine, offers a more immediate interpretation. They illustrate the estate's ability to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades, whilst retaining a remarkable clarity of their terroir.
