Avis d'expert

87 / 100

Jean-Marc Quarin

(01-2003) Dark red colour. Medium to good intensity. Evolved. Nose of medium intensity. Fruity. Evolutionary bouquet note. Smells of candied white fruits. Has strong agitation. Cedar. Oh, sweetness of this wine at first. Juicy, bold, ample, the wine evolves with force of fat towards a finish where the tanning is nevertheless a little austere, but it should be noted that here the tannin is in discreet quantity. Nice length on notes of dead leaves. To drink.

A masterpiece among the Bordeaux wines, the best according to some, Château Margaux reveals finesse and opulence, depth and complexity on tasting, and develops a bouquet of rare elegance of rose, violet, black fruits, under -taut by tight tannins that require patient aging before blossoming. The château also produces a second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, and a dry white wine, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux (100% Sauvignon Blanc).

Best vintages of Château Margaux are : 1900, 1928, 1953, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1989, 1990
