Infos produit

1981 is a return to a classic date, unlike the previous four years, marked by late harvests. Flowering was quick and even, with a very hot and dry month of August and some rain in September. Throughout the harvest, the climatic conditions were very good.
1981 has been a fine vintage from the start. The evolution in bottles has confirmed the hopes of the Château, allowing the Pavillon Blanc 1981 du Château Margaux to develop this complexity and this finesse which only belong to the greatest white wines.

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).
