Château Margaux 1988 -5% DISCOUNT !
The Château Margaux 1988, a Premier Grand Cru Classé, expresses the gravelly soils of Margaux. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon aged in oak barrels, it reveals blackcurrant, violet and cedar, with a mineral touch. Its palate, silky and lively, captivates with its balance. Ideal with game or aged cheeses.
Château Margaux
Since the 17th century, this iconic estate has embodied the excellence of Bordeaux wines, shaped by an exceptional terroir and a perpetual pursuit of purity.
- Terroir: Gravelly soils of Margaux, in the eponymous appellation, where Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes under a temperate climate, lending the wine a mineral elegance and refined structure.
- Vinification: A meticulous blend, aged twenty-one months in new French oak barrels, for a powerful yet harmonious expression of the terroir.
Tasting notes for Château Margaux 1988
To the eye: A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density, betraying an accomplished maturity and a velvety texture.
On the nose: A bouquet blending candied blackcurrant, faded violet, a touch of aged cedar and a subtle chalky note, evoking the estate's gravelly soils.
On the palate: A precise attack, carried by a lively acidity and silky tannins, where aromas of dark fruits, gentle spices and a saline minerality unfold, leading to a remarkably long finish.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 1988
A classic vintage, marked by a balance between maturity and freshness, where the tannic structure is wedded to a timeless elegance.
- Aging potential: Drink now or cellar until 2030, under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity and away from light).
