CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1943

Wine 1943 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Bud burst was early and flowering was rapid, followed by a hot, dry summer. Overall, the weather conditions were excellent. The 1943 vintage is a great success. It is the best wine produced at Château Margaux, and in Bordeaux in general, since 1934 despite the particularly difficult conditions that prevailed at that time due to the war. The success of this vintage is all the more moving.
Château Margaux 1943 is very good to drink today. Its bouquet is very fine, very elegant, closer to the great vintages of the 1950s than those of the 1940s. On the palate, this Premier Cru Classé is tender and harmonious and ends on a suave and sweet note. This delicious wine to drink can still be stored for a few years without any problem.

(2-1988) First noted in 1975 as deep; with delicate bouquet and taste, in good condition; an abrupt finish noted consistently. Nevertheless, even when it “teeters on the brink”, always interesting.

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.
