CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1987

Wine 1987 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

This year is characterized by irregular weather conditions. The harvest was delayed and difficult due to the frequent rains. Fortunately, it was cold and the rot could not develop.
Château Margaux 1987 is undeniably a great wine, characterized by great finesse and aromatic complexity. This classified growth is elegant, rare and mature. It has reached its peak, it should be drunk, but without rushing.

(9-1992). Bordeaux red. Light intensity. Bright with black reflections. Nose. Clean. Medium intensity. Fine and empyreumatic with still a note of cedar. Swirling. Clean. Medium intensity. Animal touch. Fine. Soft attack developing on a light structure, oval in shape, with well-balanced but particularly aromatic tannins. As a result, the finish is long although the wine is not fleshy. Well made with the hallmark of the cru.

(5-1990). Smells and tastes terrific, turning a bit tannic and tough on the finish, showing rich, ripe plum, prune and currant aromas and the same character when it hits the palate. But the finish clamps down with sharp tannins that will need until 1995 or so to soften. Tasted twice. –.

(8-1993). The 1987 is undoubtedly a success for the vintage. It exhibits good cassis richness, a solid texture, and above average concentration and depth. The compact finish contains noticeable tannins. .

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.
