Description

A rare gem in the Margaux appellation, Chateau Le Coteau is a family legacy that Eric Leglise cherishes and nurtures. Following his father’s footsteps, he farms the land with passion and humility, using organic methods that preserve the natural balance of the vineyard. The wine reflects his dedication and respect for the terroir, offering a classic Margaux expression with a modern twist. The nose is fragrant with spring flowers, blackcurrant, graphite and cedar, while the palate is smooth and elegant, with fine tannins and bright acidity. Juicy redcurrant and blackberry flavours mingle with pencil shavings and cinnamon nuances, creating a complex and harmonious wine that lingers on the finish.

"A little known family-owned Margaux estate owned by Eric Leglise, located in Arsac to the west of the appellation a little back from the river. Lovely sappy plum and blackberry fruits with floral aromatics that lift this out of the glass and a savoury, mouthwatering finish - this is a really charming wine. Tasted twice. A value pick."
