PAVILLON BLANC du Château Margaux 1989

Wine 1989 Second wine Bordeaux Margaux

1989 will be remembered as an exceptionally early and easy year in terms of viticulture. Exceptional conditions favored flowering, veraison and ripening. Regarding the harvest, they did not experience a single day of rain.
The 1989 vintage was a dream year, it is a great vintage in Bordeaux. This is one of the greatest vintages of Pavillon Blanc. Indeed, the Sauvignon grapes have reached this exceptional level of maturity allowing them to go beyond the vegetal aromas, emblematic of the variety. Pavillon Blanc 1989 du Château Margaux has undoubtedly reached full maturity and tastes remarkably well. It can be drunk now.

Cellar Tracker June - 2017

Acacia flowers and white nectarine on the noise, plus a touch of perfume. Golden color. Light body with a round, soft texture. Muted Sauvignon blanc fruit (cantaloupe and peach) with semicolon florals. Taught but not at all sharp. A barely detectable oxidation on the finish. Just a hint of toasted nuts.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the greatest wine estates in Bordeaux. In AOC, Margaux is listed among the First Growth wines in the official 1855 Médoc classification.

If it is a privilege to bear the name of its Margaux appellation, there is no doubt that Château Margaux does great honor to it.

For several centuries, this Premier Cru Classé has expressed to the highest degree the exceptional qualities of terroirs patiently gathered by several generations of owners. Maintained and harvested exclusively by hand with extreme care, the 78 hectares of vines (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) draw their richness very deeply from a particularly dense and thick clay-gravel soil.

Fermentation in oak vats, after which the wine is strictly selected, is followed by 18 to 24 months of aging in new oak barrels. A masterpiece among Bordeaux wines, considered by some to be the best, Château Margaux reveals finesse and opulence, depth and complexity in tasting, and develops a bouquet of rare elegance with notes of rose, violet, and black fruits, underpinned by tight tannins that require patient aging before reaching their full potential. 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).

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