CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1966

The beginning of the year was rainy, but September in particular was exceptionally hot, which allowed the grapes to reach a very good maturity.
Château Margaux 19626 is rich, with a very fine tannic texture which has now evolved with great finesse and softness on the palate. Its finish is slightly marked by tannins. It is an excellent wine and remains one of the three best vintages of its decade.

It was interesting to see how well the bouquet developed--about 45 minutes to reach perfection. Both were in good condition with fine flavour, texture and length. Time in hand.

(3-2013) Dry and fresh. Racy and transparent. Long and reverberant. Not from Margaux's most glorious era but a very good bottle.

Château Margaux
Château Margaux

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

The Grand Vin of Château Margaux has been recognized since the 17th century as one of the most accomplished expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. It owes its qualities to the combination of an exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture and vinification work oriented towards precision and balance. Tannic finesse, aromatic depth, freshness and length on the palate constitute the constant markers of the Margaux style.

Iconic vintages such as Château Margaux 1899, Château Margaux 1949, Château Margaux 1953, Château Margaux 1982, Château Margaux 1990, Château Margaux 1990, Château Margaux 2000 or the iconic Château Margaux 2015 illustrate the estate's capacity to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades, while maintaining a remarkable readability of their terroir.
