Chateau Moulin de Tricot - Margaux

The 2017 Château Moulin de Tricot is a hidden gem in the wine world. This small - scale vineyard was founded in the 19th century by the ancestors of the present owner, Bruno Rey. The unique soil here combines sand and gravel on top of a clay and marl sub - soil, which imparts distinct flavors to the grapes. This Margaux blend, made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, spends 18 months aging in French oak barrels before bottling. The result is a bottle that perfectly showcases the elegant charm typical of the Margaux appellation.

To enjoy this Chateau Moulin de Tricot Margaux, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to fully release its aroma. You can savor it on its own or pair it with red meats like steak or lamb. Keep it stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. When not in use, make sure to seal the bottle well to preserve its flavor. If you're not planning to finish the bottle at once, consider using a wine preserver to maintain its freshness for a few more days.
