Description
Desmirail was classified a 3rd Grand Cru Classé as part of the 1855 classification. The wine is the result of a parcel of exceptional terroir within the Margaux appellation, which it represents perfectly with its delicate balance.
Vinification is carried out using modern techniques and equipment, but with an overarching respect for tradition. This results in a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth, but which also has a tremendous capacity to improve with age.
Strict grape selection and carefully adapted maturation methods are both key to making Château Desmirail into the Grand Vin it is.

Tasting
Eye: Sustained and deep, with brilliant reflections.
Nose: Fresh, ripe red fruit. At once intense, light and delicate. Blueberry and blackcurrant aromas dominate, but agitation reveals subtle spicy notes. The finely integrated oak adds further complexity with vanilla aromas.
Mouth: Freshness on the palate, with density and power due to very fine tannins. Silky and harmonious on the palate, with a long, lingering fruity finish.
