CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1979

Wine 1979 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

In Bordeaux, although the year was cold, with a wet spring, yields were good and the quality of the 1979 wines was there.
Château Margaux 1979 is an elegant wine, already mature. The tannins are softer and more melted than Château Margaux 1978.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
(Ed 1998) This wine is just now reaching full maturity, much later than I initially expected. It is a classy, elegant example of Margauxpossessing a dark rubypurple color, and a moderately intense nose of sweet black currant fruit intermixed with minerals, vanillin, and floral scents. The wine is medium-bodied, with beautifully sweet fruit. This linear, more compressed style of Margaux possesses a good inner-core of sweet fruit, and a charming, harmonious personality. Although not a blockbuster, it is aging effortlessly, and appears to take on more character with each passing year.

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 is built upon a terroir of fine, deep gravels that favor 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 toward precision and balance. The tannic finesse, aromatic depth, freshness and length on the palate constitute the constant hallmarks of the Margaux style.

Emblematic 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 ability to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades while maintaining a remarkable readability of their terroir.
