This quite large crop (though much smaller than 1893) was of truly exceptional quality. Even today, it remains one of the greatest bottles of Margaux we have ever had the priviledge to taste. This wine displays astonishing freshness, remarkable length and smoothness. You would never guess that this wine is over 150 years old! (September 2024)

This very early vintage benefited from excellent weather conditions throughout the whole of the ripening process. The cellar master noted, "Picking began on 10th September and finished on 23rd of the same month. Rain on the first day ; the rest of the time : heat."
