Tasting Note:
The 2020 Cuvée 1762 embodies the elegance and perfume of Margaux with the structure of a great vintage. Aromas of cassis, violet, graphite, and cedar unfold into a concentrated palate of blackcurrant, plum, and cocoa, framed by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Sleek and poised, it balances ripeness with precision—long, polished, and unmistakably Left Bank. Approachable now with decanting but capable of aging beautifully for 10–15 years. Pair with filet mignon, duck breast, or wild mushroom dishes.
