CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1945

Wine 1945 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The bud burst was early, followed by a terrible frost, which considerably reduced the harvest. Subsequently, the weather was extremely favorable from the beginning of summer until the end of the harvest. The year 1945 is legendary. In a symbolic way, it is a great vintage that came to greet the end of the Second World War.
Château Margaux 1945 is a very powerful, concentrated, ripe wine, with a fine and complex bouquet, more elegant than 1947 and 1949, which seem more marked by the extreme heat of summer. This Premier Cru Classé has all the attributes of a great vintage of its generation. Having remained very young for a long time, according to Château Margaux, it now seems to be at its peak.

Still has firm tannins, but you can feel the delicacy and grace as it opens up and shows cedar, cigar box and chocolate-scented berry flavors. The tannins are scarcely more obtrusive here than with the other first growths.

A magnificent wine. Nothing fragile and feminine about this '45. From the start, very deep in colour with a beautiful richness and intensity. The fragrance, the hallmark of Margaux, being variously described as ripe mulberry, crystallised violets, cedar cigar box, creamy - and always glorious. On the palate its initial tannins ameliorating, now soft and velvety.

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.
