Wine 1998 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The highlight of this 1998 vintage is the exceptional heat and the drought of August which allowed the early acquisition of an excellent level of concentration. Fortunately, the heavy rains in September, which came too late, could not impact the quality of the berries.
The 1998 vintage is a vintage that is quite similar to 1995 and the wines of 1986. Château Margaux 1998 is a great wine that should be kept for several years in the cellar. However, on tasting, the strong presence of fruit with notes of red fruits and a hint of vanilla characterizes this very pleasant classified growth to drink.

Deep crimson. Powerful, direct aroma. Strongly cassis. Fresh and yet mouth-filling and almost creamy/buttery on the palate in terms of texture. Very clean and fresh. Hint of char. Very convincing as a first growth. Long and rich. Direct with masses of fruit disguising the slightly grainy tannins. Tangy and lively… You could drink this with food now! Very good wine.

Dark color, of normal intensity and slightly evolved. Delicate on the palate entry, meticulous in its texture, very fruity, then savory and complex, even if the body is not optimum. The wine stretches out on the finish, sappy, long and delicious.

. A deep garnet core with deep brick rim. The nose has moderate intensity, not the exuberance and exhilaration of the Haut-Brion, but expressive, with notes of blackberry, tar, a touch of leather and bilberry. What it does not have is Margaux's signature aroma of violets - this is more reserved and masculine. The palate is medium-bodied, quite peppery upon entry with good acidity and balance, yet missing the femininity and the finesse that marks out say the 1999 or the 2001. The finish is quite dry, perhaps a little dour compared to other Chateau Margaux. Tasted March 2008.

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.
