Château Margaux 1997 - Great Wine - First Classified Growth

Château Margaux 1997 - 1st classified grand cru of Margaux

About the estate : No need to introduce this 1st grand cru classé from 1855 whose position no one will question. With its own style combining power, extreme finesse and incredible aging potential for the vast majority of its vintages, Château Margaux has a single-block vineyard. Another interesting fact is that the barrels in which the great wine evolves are assembled and heated on site (see images). Finally, it is the only Château that has given its name to an appellation.

Since 1908 the Château has produced a second wine, the famous "Pavillon Rouge" (possibly the best of the second wines). And since 1997 a third wine, the "Margaux du Château Margaux" on which we will not comment.

Rated 90/100 by RP and J. Suckling, this 1997 vintage is very elegant and perfectly successful given the difficulty that the vintage represented. If the only criticism that can be made is a slight lack of concentration, we still advise you to open it and decant it several hours before tasting.
