Château du Grand Soussans 2021, Margaux

Grand Soussans is a Cru Bourgeois estate located in the commune of Soussans, within the Margaux appellation. Its gravel soils favor Cabernet Sauvignon, which typically defines the structure, while Merlot rounds the mid palate. It represents the serious, often overlooked tier of the Médoc that delivers classic Left Bank character without classification status.

The style is defined by freshness, moderate alcohol, and aromatic precision rather than density. Red currant, graphite, and floral lift, with fine tannins and measured extraction. This is a vintage that rewards appreciation of nuance over power.
