Lots of darker cherry and currant fruits as well as scorched earth, spice box, and spring flower notes emerge from the 2019 Chateau Le Coteau, a medium-bodied, beautifully elegant, seamless Margaux that shines for its complexity and elegance more than power. It's impeccably balanced and well worth seeking out.

A little known family-owned Margaux estate owned by Eric Leglise, located in Arsac to the west of the appellation a little back from the river. Lovely sappy plum and blackberry fruits with floral aromatics that lift this out of the glass and a savoury, mouthwatering finish - this is a really charming wine. [...] Tasted twice. A value pick.

Blackberries, blackcurrants, mushrooms, walnuts and baking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Silky and juicy with an elegant finish. Pretty Margaux. Drink after 2023.

The 2019 Le Coteau is a dense, flamboyant Margaux that offers tons of immediacy and appeal. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, cedar and tobacco are front and center.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Le Coteau gives up a good intensity of black cherries, crushed blackberries and cassis notes with touches of bay leaves, underbrush and cloves. Medium-bodied, the palate has a good amount of juicy black fruits with a slight chewiness to the texture and loads of freshness, finishing with a peppery kick.

Pale to mid crimson. Light nose. Certainly very fresh and precise with the tannins of the vintage in evidence. But not too much so. The opposite of heavy-handed. Dry finish. Flirtatious and reasonably expressive of the appellation.
