CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1962

Wine 1962 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

The 1962 vintage is an example, rare at that time, of a successful late year. This is the second best vintage of the 1960s after the incredible 1961 vintage. Unfortunately, its elder, the 1961 vintage, caused this very fine wine to be somewhat forgotten.
Château Margaux 1962 is a great wine, rich, fleshy, well balanced and ripe. This Premier Cru Classé reveals a light color, wonderfully perfumed. This great wine is very pleasant to drink today and the magnums are remarkable.

Ruby-coloured; a fragrant, biscuity bouquet of considerable depth, lean, flavoury, but with a touch of tartness.

(1-1998) This wine should be enjoyed now for the gorgeous, fully mature, and quickly evaporating bouquet. It is beginning to decline for sure, but the full, intensely cedary, fruity bouquet has merits. The flavors are soft.

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.
