Château Margaux 1985

Château Margaux 1985 stands as a testament to the elegance and refinement of Bordeaux's First Growth wines. Crafted during a vintage celebrated for its ideal growing conditions, this wine embodies the harmony and finesse that define the estate. The 1985 growing season featured warm, stable weather, resulting in an early and uniform harvest. These conditions produced grapes of exceptional ripeness, balanced acidity, and fine tannins, yielding wines that are approachable yet capable of extended aging. Aged for 18 to 24 months in new French oak barrels, this vintage offers a sensory experience of depth and complexity, seamlessly integrating fruit, oak, and the signature Margaux terroir.

Appearance: Deep ruby with garnet hues, reflecting its maturity and elegance.

Nose: Aromatic notes of blackcurrant, violets, cedar, and earthy truffle, with hints of leather and dried herbs.

Palate: Refined and elegant, with a core of dark fruit, silky tannins, and a seamless, long finish.

To ensure optimal enjoyment of this vintage wine, we recommend using the Durand™ corkscrew for smooth cork extraction.
