Wine 1986 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

This summer, the weather conditions were excellent, but the month of September was rainy. Immediately afterwards, the sun returned until the harvest, bringing the grapes to superb maturity.
1986 is another exceptional vintage following on from 1985. Rarely has a vintage (until 2000, 2005 and 2010) been so powerful and concentrated from the outset. You have to go back to the legendary 1961 to find such richness and balance before it. Château Margaux 1986 is a rich, fairly firm and tannic wine.

The 1986 Château Margaux is one of the dark horses of the vintage. It has an exquisite bouquet that is now fully mature, with a mixture of red and black fruit, violets, pastilles and hints of cold stone. It blossoms in the glass, gaining intensity all the time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a more robust Margaux as you would expect given the vintage, clearly with firm backbone, more straight-laced than the 1985 or 1989. Yet there is wonderful delineation and focus here. If you seek strictness and classicism in a wine, then this is the place to come, plus there is superb mineralité and tension on the ferrous finish. Perhaps a little overlooked in recent years, the 1986 Margaux comes highly recommended for those who love the property. This is a wine finally coming of age.

Better on the nose than on the palate with its austere, rustic edge to its tannins, there is a wealth of ripe fruit, but the finish is a bit rough around the edges. This is best for tasters longing for days gone by. Give it air, and, or time. Drink from 2022-2040.

Dark colour, of good intensity and evolved. Moderately aromatic nose, animal with slightly cooked fruitiness indicating a bottle that is not at its best. Magical mouthfeel from the very first sip. Dreamy texture. However, after the mid-palate, the wine finishes a little sharp and harsh despite a lovely flavour.

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 fine, deep gravel terroir that enables the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

The Grand Vin of Château Margaux has been recognised since the 17th century as one of the finest expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. Its qualities derive from a combination of exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture and winemaking focused on precision and balance. Tannic finesse, aromatic depth, freshness and length on the palate are the constant hallmarks of the Margaux style.

Iconic vintages such as Château Margaux 1899, Château Margaux 1949, Château Margaux 1953, Château Margaux 1982, Château Margaux 1990, Château Margaux 1990, Château Margaux 2000 and the iconic Château Margaux 2015 demonstrate the estate's ability to produce highly complex wines capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades, whilst retaining a remarkable clarity of terroir expression.
