CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1952

Wine 1952 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The months of June, July and August being hot and dry, everything seemed to announce an exceptional year. Unfortunately, September was cold and very rainy and prevented the grapes from reaching excellent maturity.
Tasted by the Château in October 2018, Château Margaux 1952 revealed an astonishing freshness. It has a fine and elegant aromatic bouquet and a slight touch of austerity which gives it its charm. On the palate, this Premier Cru Classé gives a silky and tender first impression then ends with slightly firm tannins. It's still a very nice bottle, but it's better not to wait too long.

Jean-Marc Quarin June - 2017
Jean-Marc Quarin
Evolved color, medium intensity. Intense nose, with very ripe fruit, slightly oxidative, with a touch of wet wool. Not at its best. Mellow on the attack, immediately very flavorful, immediately melting, the body shows itself taut and meticulous in its tannin and taste. Very long, sappy finish. A texture reminiscent more of great dry white wines than reds. Here the tannin fades away. Superb.

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
