Chateau du Courneau Bordeaux Margaux 2023

Château du Courneau is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux from the prestigious Margaux appellation, offering an approachable expression of the region’s elegant, Cabernet-driven style. The 2023 is a traditional Bordeaux blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showing juicy black cherry and blackberry fruit alongside graphite, tobacco, subtle smoke, and savory earth, with polished tannins and the floral lift characteristic of Margaux. Medium to full-bodied and structured without being overly heavy, it combines ripe dark fruit with fresh acidity and a firm, lingering finish. This is enjoyable with some air now, but its structure suggests that a few years of bottle age will bring additional integration and complexity.
