Château Tayac, AOP Margaux 2022
Château Tayac,
AOP Margaux
Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 40%, Petit Verdot 5%
14% abv
Stylish, modern Margaux. This blend leans towards Cabernet Sauvignon, as you’d expect, fleshed out with Merlot, and with a splash of Petit Verdot to add grippy tannins and a deeper colour.
Fermented in a mix of cement and stainless steel tanks and aged for 10-12 months in French oak barrels, of which 35% are new.
Tasting notes
Bright and attractive, pronounced dense fruit redolent of blackberries, and cassis, with well-integrated oak adding a mocha note to the finish. Allow it to enjoy some extra time in bottle to get the best out of this stylish wine.
Food match
Roast lamb served pink with herbs, or a rare sirloin steak.
