"This wine of pleasure wonderfully translates the exceptional terroir from which it comes, despite the more discreet quantities due to an interesting concentration at the end of the cycle. This 2018 vintage will charm you with its round fruit, beautiful tannic structure and just the right balance. Promising good potential, it can also be enjoyed quickly with 1 or 2 hours decanting."

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
For 25 years, Laurent von der Heyden has demonstrated that he produces one of the most elegant margaux in the world. Situated on the finest Arsac gravel, Monbrison draws all its refinement from the gravel, the perfect archetype for delicate, unctuous margaux. Over the last few vintages, we've been delighted to note that the wines are increasingly pure, precise and energetic. The 2015 was impressive, and the 2016 and 2018 are just as impressive.

Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Acquired in 1922 by the American Robert M. David, this cru, founded in the 18th century and commanded by an elegant manor house, was put back on track in the 1980s by his grandson Jean-Luc Vonderheyden (who died in 1992). The latter's brother, Laurent, now manages a 14-hectare vineyard in a single block, south of Margaux.
