CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1974

Wine 1974 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

As the month of September was rainy and cold, the grapes could not reach a good level of maturity, despite a decent summer. 1973 is another difficult vintage after 1972 and 1973, both for the quality of the wines and for the conditions of their marketing.
Château Margaux 1974 is pleasant and still quite tannic with a fairly dry finish.

Jean-Marc Quarin June - 2017
Jean-Marc Quarin
Evolved, medium-intensity color with orange highlights. Discreet nose, very, very fruity as a dry white wine can be. Juicy on the attack, very, very fruity on development, full and tasty, with a taste of white fruit, this wine evolves over a long period, giving a strong impression of youth.

 Dark ruby, good hue and light fading tinge. Still tight on the nose, and it's still shy after an hour. Showing hints of floral, earth and dried figs.Still holding on palate with black fruits, dried fruits and violet. It has good acidity backbone that hold the wine together but lack on the finish and mid-palate. Still drinkable but it does not meet my expectation for a first growth. But I must acknowledge that this is a very difficult vintage and probably most other '74 Bordeaux would not be drinkable by now.

 This wine is way over the hill and should be approached with care.

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
