Viniou Reviews

Château Dauzac's 2019 Cuvée Labastide Dauzac Margaux is a standout wine from the esteemed Margaux appellation in the Médoc subregion of Bordeaux. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine showcases the elegance and complexity typical of Margaux. The 2019 vintage enjoyed ideal growing conditions with a warm climate contributing to concentrated flavors and ripe tannins. The terroir of Margaux, characterized by its gravelly soils, allows for excellent drainage and optimal vine health, contributing to the finesse and aromatic richness of wines from this area. Vinification techniques maintain the wine's purity and express the unique characteristics of this renowned estate.

Margaux itself sits in the heart of the Bordeaux wine region, a place with a storied history dating back centuries. The combination of moderate maritime climate influences from the nearby Atlantic Ocean and variety of well-drained soils makes this region ideal for cultivating Bordeaux's classic grape varieties. The wines of Margaux are celebrated for their finesse and aromatic intensity.

For pairing, this Margaux red wine pairs wonderfully with classic French cuisine. A beef tenderloin with a truffle sauce or roasted lamb adorned with rosemary would beautifully complement the wine's nuanced flavors and firm structure. Regional dishes, such as duck confit or entrecôte bordelaise, will also highlight the wine’s complexity and elegance.

When it comes to tasting, it is suggested to serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. This allows its red fruit flavors, intricate aromas, and velvety tannins to shine through. Decanting the wine for about an hour before serving can further enhance its bouquet and depth, offering a memorable tasting experience. Enjoy the wine in good company to appreciate its full potential.
