Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

13.7% ABV £6.99 a bottle (reduced from £10 a bottle).

(Don't confuse this with Chateau Margaux - the 2016 vintage of the latter, and sold by Waitrose cost £650 a bottle!)

Oops! I should have made that clearer - it's sold by Waitrose.

Very drinkable at that price , especially as the 16 year old price has gone crazy
