CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1964

Wine 1964 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Drink between 2024 and 2028

With a very favourable hot, dry summer and an exceptionally warm September, the grapes reached excellent ripeness. However, from the beginning of October, the rain did not stop. Half the crop was harvested before the rain; the other half, unfortunately, was brought in under difficult, rainy conditions. As a result, the last grapes harvested were badly affected by rot.
Château Margaux 1964 bears the marks of these two very different harvest conditions. It is a very good wine, but could have been great. This classified growth has a fine, complex and deep bouquet.

Doctor Wine If this was not the wine of the day it came real close. The unnaturally red colour has only some orange nuances on the edge. The bouquet is an explosion of balsamic sensations, holly, tanned leather and lots of spice. The pepper is abundant as are the sensations of blood in the background. The mouthfeel is still taut thanks to an epic yet not invasive acidity that is in perfect balance within a structure of unique elegance. The fine and thick tannins have by now settled but tactilely lift everything to a higher level. A wine dreams are made of.

Falstaff
Medium carmine-garnet colour, broad rim with a yellowish edge; restrained, slightly sweet notes on the nose, with red berry aromas and a delicate hint of mint; firm and clearly structured on the palate, with very well-integrated oak, good ageing potential and a lovely length.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates of 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 encourages the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

The Grand Vin de Château Margaux has been recognised 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 a winemaking approach oriented towards precision and balance. The finesse of the tannins, the aromatic depth, the freshness and the length on the palate are the constant hallmarks of the Margaux style.

The great vintages punctuate its history, from the 1953 wine, then the 1982 vintage to the 1990 and the 2000 vintage, through to the 2015, regarded as one of the estate's recent pinnacles. Le Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, the second wine, offers a more immediate interpretation. They illustrate the estate's ability to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades, whilst retaining a remarkable clarity of their terroir.
