A classic Margaux from a strong vintage, the 2010 Château Marsac Séguineau offers ripe red berry aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry, layered with subtle spice, vanilla and floral notes. The palate is smooth and velvety with structured tannins and a refined, elegant finish. Now entering a beautiful drinking window, it delivers balanced maturity with both freshness and depth.

Aromas of freshly sliced strawberries and crushed raspberries follow through to a full body, with chewy tannins and a tangy finish. Needs time to resolve the tannins. Better in 2017.

Solidly built, with notes of singed vanilla bean and a flicker of espresso framing the core of plum, red currant and steeped cherry fruit. Toasty but sleek, with a perfumy edge that weaves through the finish. Best from 2014 through 2024. 5,215 cases made.
