Description

The 1945 Château Margaux is a wine of legendary status, produced in one of the most celebrated vintages of the 20th century. Emerging from a year marked by both historical significance and exceptional growing conditions, this wine is a masterpiece of balance, power, and elegance.

In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet core, edged with hints of brick, reflecting its remarkable age. The bouquet is profoundly complex, offering layers of blackcurrant, plum, and dried cherry interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, and delicate floral undertones. Nuances of graphite and earthy minerality add depth and character, embodying the quintessential Margaux style.

On the palate, the wine is both powerful and refined, showcasing a seamless integration of rich fruit, firm yet velvety tannins, and vibrant acidity. Flavors of dark berries, dried herbs, and hints of cocoa evolve into a long, ethereal finish, marked by finesse and persistence.

The 1945 Château Margaux is a testament to the enduring legacy of this First Growth estate, offering a rare glimpse into an iconic vintage. Perfectly cellared bottles of this wine are treasures, celebrated by collectors and connoisseurs as some of the finest Bordeaux ever produced.
