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 relating the comparative tasting between Château Margaux and Haut-Brion, I was surprised by the excellent result of Château Margaux 2002. I have just tasted it again at the Château, with a lower potential note, but still the same pleasure note. . Decanting: half an hour before. Dark and intense color. Fruity nose, fresh, with a hint of ink. Nice fairly ample entry in the mouth, then the wine develops juicy, melting, airy, with taste and structure. Tasty, a little less mellow than the great vintages of Château Margaux, it ends meltingly, long and particularly inspittable.

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 largest wine estates in Bordeaux. In AOC, Margaux appears in the first classified growths of the official classification of Médoc wines of 1855.

If it is a privilege to bear the name of its Margaux appellation, there is no doubt that Château Margaux does it great honor.

For several centuries, this Premier Cru Classé has expressed to the highest degree the exceptional qualities of terroirs patiently brought together by several generations of owners. Maintained and harvested exclusively by hand with extreme care, the 78 hectares of vines (75% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet-Franc and Petit-Verdot) draw their richness very deeply from the soil. clayey-gravelly, particularly dense and thick.

Fermentation in oak vats, after which the wine is strictly selected, is followed by 18 to 24 months of aging in new oak barrels. A masterpiece among the Bordeaux wines, the best according to some, Château Margaux reveals finesse and opulence, depth and complexity on tasting, and develops a bouquet of rare elegance of rose, violet, black fruits, under -taut by tight tannins that require patient aging before blossoming. The château also produces a second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, and a dry white wine, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux (100% Sauvignon Blanc).

Best vintages of Château Margaux are : 1900, 1928, 1953, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1989, 1990
