CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1974

Wine 1974 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

As the month of September was rainy and cold, the grapes could not reach a good level of maturity, despite a decent summer. 1973 is another difficult vintage after 1972 and 1973, both for the quality of the wines and for the conditions of their marketing.
Château Margaux 1974 is pleasant and still quite tannic with a fairly dry finish.

Jean-Marc Quarin June - 2017
Jean-Marc Quarin
Evolved colour, of medium intensity, with orange reflections. Discreet and very, very fruity nose as a dry white wine can be. Juicy on the attack, very, very fruity on the development, ample and flavoursome, with a taste of white fruits, this wine evolves long giving a strong impression of youth.

Dark ruby, good hue and light fading tinge. Still tight on the nose, and it's still shy after an hour. Showing hints of floral, earth and dried figs.Still holding on palate with black fruits, dried fruits and violet. It has good acidity backbone that hold the wine together but lack on the finish and mid-palate. Still drinkable but it does not meet my expectation for a first growth. But I must acknowledge that this is a very difficult vintage and probably most other '74 Bordeaux would not be drinkable by now.

This wine is way over the hill and should be approached with care.

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.
