Wine 1982 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Throughout the year, the conditions were very favorable for the vines and the ripening of the grapes. The grapes have reached exceptional maturity, characterized among other things by a record sugar concentration.
Château Margaux 1982 comes from a very great vintage. This classified growth confirms the excellence of the vintage on tasting with an impressive aromatic bouquet, power and pleasant roundness.

Strong carmine garnet, subtle ocher reflections, broad brightening of the edges. Multi-faceted bouquet, nuances of fresh dark berries, black cherries, a hint of nougat. Juicy, ripe cherries, fine extract sweetness, well integrated tannins, chocolatey touch, then a bit slimmer in the finish, blackberry and fresh, present tannins, salty minerality in the finish, chocolatey aftertaste.

Revista Adega : Cedar, herbs and beautiful graphite, with the fruit, raspberry, making room for tertiary aromas. In the mouth, the fruit is still very present, with sweetness and an herbaceous touch. Tannins present, with granite minerality and a mineral and very elegant aftertaste. A companion to large dishes.

The 1982 Chateau Margaux is a wine that I have tasted many times, constantly contrasted against the 1983 to see which is better. Frankly I found that it depends on the bottle, although maybe the 1983 edges it. But it is important to assess the 1982 on its own individual merits because it is a superb First Growth. This was a great bottle: fragrant and beautifully defined on the nose that on this occasion offered a more conspicuous graphite scent, which lent it a Pauillac-like personality. Allowing the wine to open and aerate, the traits one associates with the property emerge—wilted violets and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and mineral-laden, that suggestion of candied orange peel on the entry segueing into layers of pure red and black fruit. There is always something effortless about this Chateau Margaux and the pixelation on the finish is up there with the very best. Is it the best 1982 First Growth? No, it's not quite up there with 1982 Latour or Mouton-Rothschild, however, it is a sublime evocation of the vineyard and it will continue to give pleasure for a couple of decades yet.

Elegant, and refined, the wine kicks off with a blend of violets, tobacco, red and black currants and cedar. Texturally, this is simply gorgeous with its multiple layers of sweet, ripe, silky fruits. Drink from 2023-2035.

All of the great wine tasters have commented on this wine over time. Where it it today? The robe is very somber. The wine is thick and fat but it doesn't deliver itself easily. The nose is closed at the opening of the bottle, it needs time to aerate. You must wait a bit. Don't be impatient. The mouth is very rich, dense, fleshy, with black fruit and spicy aromas. Very good length. This wine leave you a bit knocked out. After 30 years in the bottle, it is today excellent with still a huge potenital to last many years. 95100 (03-2015) Tasted in 2012, we were curious to measure the evolution of this wine. This bottle was perfect. Slightly less closed than the last one. What richness! what strength ! What length ! This wine is really exceptional. One can drink it or wait, if you manage to wait.

A lovely Margaux that is beautifully aromatic and delicate. I have tried this wine at least three times this month and the wine has a lot of bottle variation. Some bottles are expressive and gorgeous while others are mute and quite closed. This one is somewhere in between. Silky tannins and nice depth on the palate with a fairly long finish.

Ripe Bordeaux red, still shiny. The nose shows a very nice complexity, dried flowers, some tea, dark cherries, smoke and a hint of liquorice, excellent complexity. Tight opening, distinctive tannin, shows body and a nice density, with plenty of freshness and juiciness, ends long and very spicy. Perhaps not the most finesse but a very concentrated Margaux with an excellent length. Now until 2030.

Slightly paler wine; less intense and opaque, but still quite a youthful colour. Beautifully gamy fragrance, with deep notes of autumn berries, tobacco, leather and some exotic spice and incense notes. Hints of truffle, blood and deeply-set plum and black fruits. Silky palate, with a grippy tannic edge framing a core of fragrant bittersweet fruit. This has a gorgeous cedary complexity and a fleshy quality. There's just a hint of being a touch disjointed on the palate, with acids and tannins powerful and needing to integrate some more. It finishes with power and fine length and will undoubtedly be better in 10 years.

Dark, intense and slightly evolved color. Intense, fine, pure nose, with ripe fruit, with again a note of plum and a mixture of cedar and vanilla. Very nice entry in the mouth with a meticulous texture. Then the wine melts, suave, on a ripe taste, particularly fruity and spicy in the middle of the mouth. It rebounds in the finish, but its weak point remains its lively touch. Good length. As is, can be kept for another 20 years. The magic lies in the fact that apart from the color, it does not look its age at all.

Completely different colour from the 1983 – much paler and more evolved, mid ruby. Light nose. Sweet and charming and fully evolved but without the concentration of some of the other wines from the 1980s. A bit dry and dusty on the end. And without great persistence. A little weak compared with the 1983. Great energy but still a bit brutal.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the largest wine estates in Bordeaux. In AOC, Margaux appears in the first classified growths of the official classification of Médoc wines of 1855.

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

For several centuries, this Premier Cru Classé has expressed to the highest degree the exceptional qualities of terroirs patiently brought together 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 the soil. clayey-gravelly, particularly dense and thick.

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 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
