An outstanding Margaux from an outstanding vintage. Chantelune's 2009 is powerful and intense. This can be added to a collection for another 5-10 years or enjoyed now. If you like Château Margaux, you'll love this! About the Producer A jewel located on top of the highest hill in Margaux, Château Chantelune is a unique property. Its previous owner, Mr. Soubrane was a carpenter who believed in felling his trees by moonlight, claiming this gave the best quality wood. His practice gave the property its name, meaning "sing to the moon." He sold his land to José Sanfins, director at third growth property, Château Cantenac Brown. Forty year old vines thrive in the poor gravel-sand soils. The vines dig deep for water and nutrients making them strong and competitive. Production is limited to just 400 cases. The small size of the vineyards allow Jose Sanfins to produce small quantities of exceptional fruit, and so the best quality wine. Vintages 2007; 2008; 2010 Taste The blend of grapes from this outstanding offering from the tiny four-hectare property each contribute to the wine whilst working in perfect harmony. The lush texture and sweet plum character comes from the Merlot, Cabernet Franc contributes fragrance and lift and the dark horse Petit Verdot provides the underlying power and intensity. Modern in style and drinking deliciously now, thanks to the impeccable quality of the vintage. Food & Wine Pair with roast partridge or savour with roast beef.
