CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1957

Wine 1957 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The beginning of the year was difficult, marked by a few spring frosts. Fortunately, the record heat of October saved the late harvest.
Château Margaux 1957 has a fine and clean bouquet, typical of a fine vintage of this age. Its mouth is tender at first then a little lean and ends with slightly dry tannins. The final dryness of this Premier Cru Classé is quite representative of a generation of slightly more acidic wines with livelier tannins than today. It is a great wine that should be drunk; the magnums have good aging potential.

(7-1997) Lean, lithe, almost delicate in structure, with lovely plum, spice and earth notes gliding through nicely.

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.
