CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1997

Wine 1997 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The beginning of the year was particularly dry and hot with an early but very spread out flowering. Fortunately, from the beginning of September, very dry and hot weather set in and lasted until the end of the harvest.
The vintage is 1997 is a rather mixed vintage. However, Château Margaux 1997 has stood out and produced a quality Grand Cru Classé. Elegant, harmonious, Château Margaux 1997 is a very balanced cru when tasted. Drink now, or keep for several more decades in the cellar to reveal all these aromas.

Wine Spectator
All in finesse, with berry, currant and light vanilla character. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely, long finish. Gorgeous core of fruit in this wine.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Undoubtedly a success for the vintage, this immensely charming, dark rubypurple-colored wine exhibits floral, black currant, and smoky, toasty oak aromas. There is admirable richness, excellent ripeness, not a great deal of density, or superb concentration, but plenty of finesse, suppleness, and character.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates in the Margaux appellation and a major historical figure of Bordeaux excellence. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, the château draws on a terroir of fine, deep gravels that promotes the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

Le Grand Vin de Château Margaux has been recognized since the 17th century as one of the most accomplished expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. Its qualities stem from the combination of an exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture, and a winemaking approach oriented toward precision and balance. Silky tannins, aromatic depth, freshness, and length on the palate are the defining hallmarks of the Margaux style.

The great vintages mark its history, from the 1953 wine, then the 1982 vintage to the 1990 and the 2000 vintage, up to the 2015, considered one of the estate's recent peaks. Le Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, the second wine, offers a more immediate interpretation. These illustrate the estate's ability to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades while retaining a remarkable expression of their terroir.
