Sub-$50 Margaux may come across as suspicious, but this chateau's bottling has all of the quintessential tobacco and graphite notes. The 2018 Bordeaux vintage has shaped up to be rather excellent, and though it was a riper year, which gives the wines some lovely upfront fruit, there is plenty of structure and concentration. However, let's remember the elegance that the Margaux appellation is noted for, which the Larruau beautifully shows. 2018 possesses lovely aromas of cassis, violets, graphite, game, and some baking spices. The palate is concentrated but so light on its feet, with lingering notes of cassis and spices that fan out on the finish like a peacock's tail. This is a stunning bottle for the Bordeaux lover with early accessibility but the stuffing to age for decades or two. It is a magnificent, hidden gem of Margaux and a great buy. Located between the vineyards of Château Margaux and Château Rauzan Segla. This wine is an undiscovered gem. A real value!
