Producer

This estate is one of the oldest in Margaux, and has had a chequered history. The Sichel family purchased the estate in 1961 and has revived the fortunes of this pretty lakeside chateau. The combination of sand and gravel soils found in this area of southern Margaux are ideal to support both Cabernet Sauvignon and a high proportion of Merlot.
Tasting Notes
The Sichel family revived the fortunes of this pretty white lakeside chateau. The combination of sand and gravel soils found in this area of southern Margaux are ideal to support both Cabernet Sauvignon and a high proportion of Merlot, which contributes a softness and supple texture to the wine. The wine is characterised by a perfumed bouquet of redcurrants and sandalwood, with complex flavours of sweet spice, mushroom and game, finishing with soft ripe tannins.
Food
A smooth drinking wine that would go well with lamb shank with rosemary and pork cassoulet.
