Bastide de Margui 1784 Rouge 2020
Bastide de Margui 1784 Rouge 2020
Domaine de Margüi can trace its roots back to Roman time through ruins and amphorae discovered in 2002. In 2017, the Domaine was fully renovated and became part of the Skywalker Vineyards collection. The Bastide de Margui is the Domaine's Grand Vin, and the grapes are rigorously de-budded, hand-picked, and sorted to produce a wine of exceptional quality. Aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels, on the nose, there is an abundance of black fruits with notes of plums, blackcurrants, hints of violets and cocoa spices. Full bodied and balanced with a fresh structure, this wine is both rich and elegant. A wine that will age gracefully for years to come.

Taste
The nose delivers a tempo of black fruits with notes of plums, blackcurrants, hints of violets and cocoa spices. Full bodied and balanced with a fresh structure, this wine is both rich and elegant. The tannins are pleasant, tinged with subtle notes of cocoa. Juicy maraschino finish sprinkled with spices such as cinnamon and liquorice. A wine for laying down.
Blend: Syrah | Cabernet-Sauvignon
Ageing: Aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels.
About the Producer
Tracing its roots back to Roman times, through ruins and amphorae discovered in 2002, Chateau Margui has had a long and distinguished history. In the 17th century, the estate was owned by a family from Aix-en-Provence and in 1784, they built the main house in the distinctive style of the bastides aixoises of that day: a lime-coated facade, nearly 6,500 square feet spanning three floors, all connected by a magnificent staircase, with many windows opening onto the French formal garden.
In 2017, the Domaine de Margüi was made part of the Skywalker Vineyards collection: The breathtaking natural surroundings and enchanted ambiance are quite akin to those found at Skywalker Vineyards in Marin County, California, and Viandante del Cielo in Passignano sul Trasimeno, Italy.
Today, Château Margüi boasts 37 acres of vineyards, 12 acres of olive groves, and 160 acres of forest, home to century-old conifers and a wide variety of deciduous trees.
The property was fully renovated, in keeping with Georges Lucas’s vision of a pure, preserved Provence, to become an estate exemplifying excellence in every way, including in its exceptional wines.
