Château Margaux 1972

An old Margaux bottle: rarity, patinated elegance and Médoc memory

Terroir

A First Growth classified in 1855, Château Margaux embodies one of the most elegant signatures of the Médoc. Its deep gravel terroir, at the heart of the Margaux appellation, produces wines sought after for their finesse, floral perfume and ability to express the nobility of Cabernet Sauvignon with rare delicacy.

The 1972 vintage now belongs to the world of old collectible bottles. This bottle should be approached with the caution required by mature wines: its appeal lies as much in its prestigious origin, age and rarity as in its possible tasting expression. It is intended for wine lovers sensitive to old Bordeaux and historic bottles from great estates.

Tasting notes

Nose:
Depending on the precise condition of the bottle, the bouquet may suggest nuances of undergrowth, cedar, blond tobacco, fine leather, autumn leaves, old spices and dried red fruits. The aromatic expression of a wine of this age should be appreciated with delicacy.

Palate & Finish:
The palate may be fragile, supple and fully patinated by time. When preservation has been favourable, the finish may offer the discreet charm of great old Bordeaux wines, with tertiary notes, softened texture, fine spices and faded elegance.
