Find this 1994 vintage wine at Arden Fine Wines in London – Château Margaux 1994
A particularly hot and dry summer and a very early harvest enabled the grapes to reach a remarkable level of concentration and richness.
The heavy rain during the picking came too late to cause any real problems for the ripening of the grapes.
The picking began on 13th September 1994.
Perhaps in 1994 the Cabernet Sauvignon lacked, in the end, a few extra days of sunshine.
It produced very concentrated, tannic wines with a slightly hard finish.
Château Margaux 1994 is a dense and powerful wine, but is still a little austere.
It has a close-knit tannic structure which has softened more than we had expected at the time of blending.
Today, the bouquet is developing well. the charm is slowly starting to replace the power and you can start to drink it.
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.
