CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1953

Wine 1953 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The very hot and dry month of August decided the privileged fate of this vintage. In September, weather conditions were normal with some rain during the harvest, which did not affect the quality of the grapes which were already ripe and concentrated.
1953 is one of the greatest vintages of Château Margaux.
Fine, subtle and rich, Château Margaux 1953 is extraordinarily delicate. The bouquet of this wine tends towards perfection. The nose of undergrowth blends aromas of flowers, red fruits and leather. In the mouth, we feel a measured, contained power, which has evolved over time, giving a supreme form of smoothness and tenderness.

Tasted 6 Times With Consistent Notes The 1953 Margaux has been delicious for most of its life. Bottles from the cold, damp Paris cellars of the French wine merchant, Nicolas, have exhibited an impressively dark rubypurple color with only slight lightening at the edge. Its huge nose possesses rich scents of violets, sweet cassis fruit, and spices. Round and opulent, with a velvety texture and gobs of sweet, jammy fruit, this is Chateau Margaux at its most seductive.

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.
