1950 Château Margaux
The Cuvée
Château Margaux, located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, is renowned as one of the most prestigious First Growth estates. The 1950 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional grace and finesse, embodying the estate's commitment to producing wines of unparalleled elegance. This wine is crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Petit Verdot, reflecting the unique terroir and meticulous winemaking of the château.
The 1950 Vintage
The 1950 vintage is noted for its delicate and harmonious profile:
Appearance: Displays a deep garnet hue with subtle bricking, indicative of its maturity.
Nose: Exudes a refined bouquet reminiscent of the 1953 vintage, though slightly less complex, with aromas of violets, blackberries, and cassis.
Palate: Offers a sensation of delicacy and smoothness, with extraordinary harmony. While it may lack the length or muscle of a great vintage, it is described as a "dream of a Margaux," evoking emotion rather than sensation. Its freshness is remarkable, suggesting that strength does not solely come from muscle. It is recommended to enjoy this wine now to fully appreciate its magical qualities.
The Estate
Established in the 17th century, Château Margaux spans approximately 262 hectares, with 87 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The estate has been under the ownership of the Mentzelopoulos family since 1977 and is renowned for producing wines of exceptional quality and elegance. The vineyard's gravelly soils and favorable microclimate contribute to the distinctive character of its wines.
