Chateau Margaux was originally called “La Mothe de Margaux” (the Margaux mound).
In 1705, the London Gazette advertised the first auction of great Bordeaux growths: 230 barrels of “Margose”.
The 1771 Château Margaux vintage was the first claret to appear in a Christie’s catalogue.
- 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 can be found in this relatively modest but nevertheless very harmonious wine.
- It was not really expected 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 it can be enjoyed with great pleasure.
- You can start to drink the wine now, but there is rush.
