CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1899

Wine 1899 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

1899 and 1900 constitute a fabulous pair of vintages, which will only be found in 1928-1929 and 1989-1990. This vintage of remarkable quality has fallen somewhat into the shadow of 1900, which was immediately more powerful and carried a more symbolic figure...
This year, the summer was very dry and the morning dews were good. The harvest was excellent despite the drought.
Château Margaux 1899 is a wine of great harmony, extreme finesse and surprising freshness. It is less powerful than the 1900, but its bouquet is at least as complex and elegant. This wine has an extraordinary smoothness and delicacy on the palate.

In 1987 at Desai's tasting with a Pillet-Will label (Count Pillet-Will had bought the chateau in 1879) revealing, at its most seductive a Margaux's feminine allure. It displayed a lively and lovely colour and a beautiful bouquet; distinct sweetness, by no means full-bodied, fragrant, lovely.

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.
