Infos produit

1948 was an average year, without particular relief. The wine did not leave much more traces than the conditions in which it was born. Wedged between two great vintages, 1947 and 1949, this year did not leave very precise memories in the memory of professionals.
Château Margaux 1948 proved to be excellent on tasting, in March 2018. The nose was ripe, very complex, surprising. The mouth of this first wine was very pleasant and its acidity, probably disturbing in its youth, now gave it a nice freshness and remarkably lengthened its finish.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the largest wine estates in Bordeaux. In AOC, Margaux appears in the first classified growths of the official classification of Médoc wines of 1855.


If it is a privilege to bear the name of its Margaux appellation, there is no doubt that Château Margaux does it great honor.


For several centuries, this Premier Cru Classé has expressed to the highest degree the exceptional qualities of terroirs patiently brought together 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 the soil. clayey-gravelly, particularly dense and thick.


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 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).


Best vintages of Château Margaux are : 1900, 1928, 1953, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1989, 1990
