CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1948

Wine 1948 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Tasting note: The wine has not left much more traces than the climatic conditions in which it was born. A bottle tasted in March 2018 nevertheless proved to be excellent. Despite its cloudy color, the nose is ripe, very complex and surprising. The palate was pleasant and the acidity, undoubtedly a little aggressive in its youth, now brings a beautiful freshness and remarkably lengthens the finish. However, it deteriorates quickly in the glass and should therefore not be decanted or only at the very last moment before being served.

Grape variety / Blend: Cabernet sauvignon (~75%), merlot (~20%), petit verdot (~3%), cabernet franc (~2%) (variations are possible from one vintage to another)

Aging: 18 to 24 months in new oak barrels

Maturity: ( - 2026) - At its peak

Food and Wine Pairing: Beef and game (deer, roe deer, wild boar) Pauillac lamb, Ceps (Risotto, pan-fried, omelette) Mature cheeses

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.
