Château Mille Roses 2019 is an organic Margaux AOC from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. It is a small-estate wine with clear red and black fruit, supple tannins and a fresh frame rather than a heavy grand château style. The 2019 vintage gives an accessible, polished Margaux expression for drinking from 2026 to 2030. WINEMAKING: stainless-steel fermentation with a maceration of three to five weeks, followed by 12 months in French oak barriques, one third new. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in barrel for roundness and integration. FOOD PAIRING: serve after a short decant. Duck breast, grilled veal, entrecôte, roast vegetables, mushroom risotto and semi-hard cheeses fit the wine's supple frame.

Château Mille Roses was created in 1999 by David Faure and his wife Sophie, starting from a small family holding and growing into a 10-hectare estate split between Margaux and Haut-Médoc. The Margaux parcels sit near Giscours and Cantemerle, in a sector where Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can give a polished, open style. The estate has been certified organic since 2010 and remains deliberately human in scale, with vineyard work guided by soil life rather than cosmetic yield.
