TASTING NOTES: Margaux, which made an outstanding wine in 1995, and a prodigiously monumental wine in 1996, turned out an alluring, soft, delicious 1997 that will offer immediate appeal. The harvest occurred between September 15 and October 2. Fifty percent of the crop made it into the grand vin, which is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. While the administrator, Paul Pontallier, informed me that the 1997 has the same amount of tannin as the 1985, the wines' texture and styles, while not totally different, are dissimilar. The wine exhibits a dense purple color, followed by an open-knit, charming nose of creme de cassis, pain grille, and minerals. In the mouth, the wine reveals beautifully ripe fruit, low acid, a suave, silky texture, remarkable suppleness and complexity for such a young wine, and a round, generous, moderately long finish. This wine will be drinkable when released, but keep for 15-20 years. Think of it as a sweeter, fruitier version of the 1985.

Château Margaux

About Château Margaux

Château Margaux, nestled in the prestigious Margaux appellation of Bordeaux's Médoc region, stands as a venerable institution with a history dating back centuries. Currently owned by the Mentzelopoulos family, the estate has earned the esteemed status of a first-growth (Premier Grand Cru Classé) in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855.

The vineyards of Château Margaux are graced with gravelly soil, a quintessential feature of the Médoc, fostering optimal drainage and ideal conditions for grape cultivation. Predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the vineyard yields grapes that contribute to the creation of red wines celebrated for their elegance, finesse, and complexity.

Château Margaux's flagship wine, the Grand Vin, epitomizes the pinnacle of the estate's winemaking prowess. This red wine, characterized by a harmonious bouquet of red and black fruits, delicate floral notes, and subtle hints of spice and cedar, is distinguished by its silky tannins and remarkable capacity for graceful aging. The estate also produces a second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, offering a more approachable and earlier-drinking option.

The aging process in the cellar is a key component of Château Margaux's winemaking philosophy, allowing the wines to evolve and gain complexity over time. The commitment to traditional methods is complemented by a forward-thinking approach, including sustainable viticulture practices that align with environmental considerations.

Château Margaux wines enjoy global recognition and are highly coveted by collectors and connoisseurs. They consistently command top prices in the fine wine market, a testament to their status among the finest expressions of Bordeaux terroir.

Château Margaux, with its rich history, unwavering commitment to quality, and revered position as a first-growth estate, continues to shape the narrative of excellence in Bordeaux winemaking. Its red wines, a synthesis of finesse and aging potential, remain at the forefront of the world's most sought-after and collectible wines.
