A personal favourite appellation of mine in 2021 despite some unevenness. Average yields were higher than in 2020, but Margaux also has the highest overall yield relative to the 10-year average meaning that, despite its size and attacks of frost and mildew, it suffered a little less than other appellations in 2021.
