Margaux has always been one of the more distinctive Bordeaux villages and finding this branded bottle in a Marseille supermarket has been a discovery. Dry, classic dark cherry taste with a persuasive and persistent nose; the dry wine was a fine complement to Magret de canard with a semi-sweet fig sauce, chef Terry’s final presentation for us here at home in Marseille. Maybe a wine that is peaking too early to be in the top class but cost-effective and worthy of the Margaux appellation. A product of Maison Bouey of Ambarès F3340.
The other bottle on our table, the 51, has filtered table water from the Alps.
