CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1970

Wine 1970 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The 1970 harvest was very large in volume, it benefited from excellent climatic conditions throughout the summer and until the end of the harvest.
The equipment of the vats, in particular the number of vats, was not adapted to such a large harvest even in the largest castles. The vinification conditions were therefore not always ideal. Indeed, Château Margaux 1970 testifies well to the quality of the vintage, but lacks a little concentration and flesh. Its nose is complex, well evolved, intense and quite harmonious. A fine and pleasant impression on the palate, but quite short and dry on the finish. This great wine should be drunk now, but it also has good keeping potential, and even improvement, as it tends to open up and blossom in the glass.

Color of medium and evolved intensity. Very intense nose, fine, fruity, fresh, with a note of coffee. Mellow and lively at the same time from the attack, with taste, a touch of old wood in the flavor, a unified and very slender body, the wine evolves particularly silky, a touch lively, but unspittable. Here the magic comes from this rare and paradoxical association between mellowness and nervousness. These perceptions are the same as those found throughout the 2016 vintage. To drink between 1990 and 2040.

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.
