The 2015 Château Margaux is a legendary vintage, considered by many to be one of the greatest ever produced by the estate. It holds a unique emotional significance: it is the last vintage overseen by the iconic director Paul Pontallier (who passed away in 2016), to whom the bottle—elegantly screen-printed in black and gold for the occasion—pays tribute.
