Ch Des Eyrins Margaux 2023 (1.5L) *

From the Margaux commune on the Left Bank of Bordeaux comes this still red from Château Des Eyrins, a 2023 bottling in the classic Médoc mold. Like its neighbors, it is built on the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend that defines the appellation, where Cabernet lends structure and Merlot fills out the middle.

Margaux has a reputation for a certain perfume and finesse, wines that carry their tannin with grace rather than force. This is a young vintage that rewards patience, and a good candidate for the cellar as it settles into itself.
