2018 CHATEAU HAUT BRETON LARIGAUDIÈRE MARGAUX “A gorgeous wine, with deliciously ripe fruits including black cherry, blue plums and spice. There’s a huge amount here, in what is a brooding, deep, broad and earthy wine. A Margaux for the hedonists and sensualists.” 97 Points, Platinum Winery Notes: "The elegant, classy Cru Bourgeois at Château Haut Breton Larigaudière is the result of rare expertise and an outstanding terroir, where the 85% Cabernet Sauvignon is unusual in Margaux, and expresses its superb aromatic finesse. Combining such elegance with a wonderfully full-bodied, powerfully tannic structure, Château Haut Breton Larigaudière proudly vies with the greatest wines in the appellation. This Margaux is attractive from the outset thanks to its brilliant, intense ruby-red colour and elegant red fruit and vanilla bouquet. It is full bodied, rich, and wonderfully fresh on the palate.” “Denser than Le Créateur from the same address but well balanced and pretty racy. Sucky-stony finish that is admirably persistent. Really rather exciting wine.” 16.5/20
