Near Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Gironde, lies the vast Château Margaux estate. Its vineyards – one of only a few to be designated ‘premier cru’ by Napoleon III – are generally considered to be the gold standard. The crème de la crème of terroirs. So, when someone offers you a fresh Château Margaux barrel to play around with, you bite their hand off, fill it with a nice, waxy Linkwood and let it rest for 5 months – just enough time to add some tannic structure, and slowly bake those biscuity notes into full-blown strawberry shortcake.
