CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 2002

Wine 2002 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Tasting notes: After bottling, Château Margaux 2002 had gained even more finesse, without losing any of its classic and tight tannic structure that bodes so well for excellent ageing. We ideally recommend waiting a few more years even though it already gives a lot of pleasure.

Grape variety/Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (~75%), Merlot (~20%), Petit Verdot (~3%), Cabernet Franc (~2%) (variations are possible from one vintage to another)

Ageing: 18 to 24 months in new oak barrels

Maturity: Ready to drink

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

Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. Very refined on the nose...definitely First Growth quality with a beautiful floral scent. Margaux? Black cherries, a touch of cassis, violets and wild hedgerow. Superb clarity. Ripe succulent entry, very pure and very harmonious with filigree tannins and a natural, graceful finish that belies its power.

In chronicle 127 recounting the comparative tasting between Château Margaux and Haut-Brion, I was surprised by the excellent result of Château Margaux 2002. I have just retasted it at the château, with a lower potential score, but still the same pleasure score. Decanting: half an hour before. Dark and intense colour. Fruity, fresh nose, with a note of ink. Beautiful, fairly ample entry on the palate, then the wine develops juicy, melting, airy, with flavour and structure. Flavoursome, a little less mellow than the great vintages of Château Margaux, it finishes melting, long and particularly difficult to spit out.

Sweet and easy and round and digestible. Racy, with a very neat finish.

This is beautiful on the nose with currants, berries and flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and pretty fruit. Needs a bit more fruit on the midpalate to be a classic Margaux, but clearly outstanding.

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.
