Find this 1992 vintage wine at Arden Fine Wines in London – Château Margaux 1992
After a very dry winter, the weather was wet during the flowering, which was long and uneven.
The summer was hot, but August was particularly rainy, which affected the health of the vines more than usual.
Fine weather never really settled in after that.
The picking began on 29th September 1992.
Considerable work was necessary in the vines to compensate for the effects of the adverse weather conditions; first, to protect the vines, then to thin the crop which promised to be large, and finally a very careful sorting during the harvest.
A lot of distinction and finesse exist in this relatively modest but nevertheless very harmonious wine.
They did not really expect to achieve a good ripeness of tannins in this vintage, but their softness and roundness once again prove the excellence of the terroir.
Château Margaux 1992 today displays a lot of charm and finesse on the nose; the bouquet is mature, complex; in fact, very typical.
On the palate, it is tender, fine and finishes on a very soft note.
Château Margaux 1992 may not impress, but you can enjoy it with great pleasure.
You can start to drink the wine now, but there is no rush.
A brief history of Château Margaux
People in the XII century referred to Margaux as “La Mothe de Margaux” (the Margaux mound).
The old name didn’t happen by chance.
In a flat region like the Médoc, the slightest “mound” easily stood out.
This is because sloping land that ensures good drainage always produces the greatest wines.
In 1152, England advanced into Aquitaine and continued until 1453.
Thus, this new market benefited Bordeaux wines.
In the ten years from 1572 to 1582, Pierre de Lestonnac completely restructured the property.
At the end of the XVII century, Château Margaux occupied 265 hectares.
A third of the estate planted vines, which remains the case today.
Then in 1705, the London Gazette advertised the first auction of 230 barrels of “Margose”.
Later, the 1771 vintage became the first “claret” to appear in a Christie’s catalogue.
In 1896, Count Pillet-Will, Margaux’s owner, employed Pierre Moreau to manage the property.
Subsequently, Pierre Moreau’s most important innovation involved bottling the wine at the château, which he adopted in 1924.
This guaranteed authenticity for the buyers.
In 1950, the Ginestet family acquired the whole property.
In 1977, André Mentzelopoulos bought the property.
The Mentzelopoulos family continues to own Margaux.
