CHÂTEAU MARGAUX Magnum 1982

Wine 1982 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Throughout the year, the conditions were very favorable for the vines and the ripening of the grapes. The grapes have reached exceptional maturity, characterized among other things by a record sugar concentration.
Château Margaux 1982 comes from a very great vintage. This classified growth confirms the excellence of the vintage on tasting with an impressive aromatic bouquet, power and pleasant roundness.

Of all the 1982 first-growths, Chateau Margaux has been the most variable from bottle to bottle. At the Philadelphia tasting, the bottle was maderized, the only truly bad bottle in the impeccable collection assembled by local wine connoisseur Randy Feinberg. From my cellar, the 1982 Margaux exhibits a dark, murky rubypurple color with a touch of lightening at the edge. Earthy, truffle, black fruit, underbrush, cedar, and spice aromas are followed by a ripe, full-bodied, chunky wine. This fleshy, powerful effort is somewhat disjointed and rustic at present. Interestingly, I have had bottles that merited nearly perfect scores, and others that were typical of this tasting. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035.

Firm and rich. Dark ruby. Mint, mineral and currant aromas. Full-bodied, with solid and fine tannins. Better with a bit more age? Perhaps not as opulent as expected.

All the great tasters have commented on this wine over time. What about today? The color is very dark. The wine is thick, rich. But it does not reveal itself easily. The nose is closed on opening, it needs time and aeration. You have to wait a little. Don't be impatient. The palate is of very great richness, dense, fleshy, black fruit, spices. Very beautiful length. This wine leaves you a bit knocked out. After 30 years in bottle, it is excellent today with still a very great aging potential.

Château Margaux

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.
