Château Margaux 1997 - Grand Vin - Premier Grand Cru Classé

Château Margaux 2008 - 1st classified grand cru of Margaux - Original individual wood case

About the estate: No need to present this 1er grand cru Classé from 1855, the position of which 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 vineyard. Another interesting fact, the barrels in which the great wine evolves are assembled and heated on site (see images). Finally, it is the only Château which 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 "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 we can make of it is a slight lack of concentration, we still advise you to open it and decant it several hours before tasting.
