CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 2001

Wine 2001 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The very rainy winter accelerated flowering. The summer was characterized by an unusual alternation of hot and cool, dry and wet periods. As a result, the growth of the grapes was favored and the ripening slowed down. The harvest took place late, but in good weather.
Château Margaux 2001 is a beautiful wine. A vintage quite similar to the 1999 vintage. Tender and harmonious in tasting, Château Margaux will delight lovers of great wines. To be tasted now or kept for another 15 to 20 years to reveal the full aromatic bouquet that these years of cellaring will be able to deliver.

(5-2009). Dark color, of good intensity, slightly evolved. Fine nose, fruity, smoky, with a touch of coffee. In contrast to the previous wine, due to a lack of spice, it seems “cold”. Superb soft palate entry. The wine develops particularly aromatic and melting, offering plenty of flavor. Of good body, a touch woody, it finishes on a soft tannicity and an overall charming profile.

(3-2004). Subtle and very perfumed with floral, currants, minerals and berry aromas with a hint of toasted barrels. Medium- to full-bodied, with an outstandingly refined core of fruit and smoky, earthy, berry and almost meaty character. It's long and caressing. Could use a bit more fruit to be up with the other first-growths.

(6-2004). Performing well from bottle, Chateau Margaux’s 2001, which is somewhat reminiscent of both the 1985 and 1999, is an elegant, seamlessly constructed effort with a deep rubypurple color, and a beautiful nose of flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, and cedar. A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, this forward, opulent beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. This is one of the most elegant wines of the vintage.

 Mid ruby. Great depth and richness and complexity – and yet this manages to be racy and delicate too. Real lift and freshness – thoroughbred stuff. The hedonistic fruit cunningly disguises what is still a heavy charge of tannin. Great persistence. A haunting wine.

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.
