MARGAUX

Vintage : 1992
1er Cru Classé

Red

Expert opinion :

Robert Parker
89/100 (12/1994)
The 1992 Margaux displays an impressively saturated, dark ruby/purple color, and a fragrant bouquet of cassis, vanillin, and floral scents. The wine is smooth, supple, wonderfully ripe, and seductive, with medium body, low acidity, and light tannin in the finish. It is drinking extremely well. Some tasters will no doubt rate it even higher than I have, given its elegance and layers of ripe, generous fruit that are presented in a medium-bodied format.

Infos Château :

A priivilege to bear the name of its appellation, for Chateau Margaux there is no doubt  ample justice. For several centuries this Premier Cru expresses the highest degree of quality of exceptional terroir patiently gathered by several generations of owners. Maintained and harvested exclusively by hand with extreme care, the 78 hectares of vines (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) derive their wealth deep in soil clayey gravelly particularly dense and thick. The fermentation in oak vats, after which the wine is strictly selected, follows 18 to 24 months in barrels of new oak. Masterpiece among the claret, the best according to some, the Château Margaux reveals the delicate taste and opulence, depth and complexity, and exudes a rare elegance of rose, violet, black fruit, sub - strained by tight tannins that require patient aging before blossoming.
