Tasting Notes: The Closerie des Eyrins thunders across the palate with extreme polish and dark-fruited intensity, but shows precision, elegance, and harmony. There is immense structure and underlying luxury that is endemic to the world-famous, inimitable terroir of Margaux. This wine is dense and deep-flavored, intense and racy, and undeniably true to its Margaux terroir.
Food Pairing: Sous Vide Lamb w/ Black Truffle
The Domain: Julie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville are, in many ways, the first couple of French wines. Both hail from storied winemaking families: Julie’s family is famous for its incomparable Chateau Gilette, and Xavier comes from a long line of Champagne growers in Le Mesnil.
Leading a new generation of winemakers, they bring their family knowledge, methods and passion to the many wines they now make together. Julie and Xavier bought the seven-acre Chateau des Eyrins estate from Eric Grangerou in 2008. The Grangerou family has been cellar masters for Chateau Margaux for three generations.
On a hillside plateau in the heart of Margaux, on the left bank of the Gironde River, Chateau des Eyrins produces a classic Margaux: dense and deep, with incredible finesse and freshness, the wine undeniably expresses the identity of this glorious appellation.
