Margaux 1982
The Winery
Château Margaux
Château Margaux is a jewel in the Medoc region of Bordeaux and is quintessential example of elegance, luxury, and balance that the rest of the world seeks. A high percentage of Merlot is blended with a Cabernet Sauvignon base compared to other First Growths and the soils are thin and gravely, producing a more feminine wine of strong aromas of dark berries, fine tannins, and a lengthy finish. The dramatic Château was declared an original First Growth during the 1855 Classification and has been a premier example of the potential of Bordeaux ever since.
Summary
Château Margaux 1982, a Premier Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux, exemplifies the finesse and elegance characteristic of the Margaux region. This Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend, with a touch of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, boasts an alcohol content of around 12.5–13%. The wine features a complex bouquet with notes of dark berries, black cherry, and earthy undertones, complemented by hints of tobacco and graphite. Its palate displays a harmonious balance of ripe fruit, silky tannins, and a rich, long finish, with flavors of blackberry and a subtle chocolaty touch. This vintage is celebrated for its longevity, offering a delightful drinking experience now and for decades to come.
