It’s a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics that are only rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness. Although its tan...

Wine Information

Bordeaux Vintage Report by Château Margaux / 1949 is one of the most concentrated vintages of Château Margaux; such tannic power did not appear again until 1961, and then again in 1986. Its colour is stunning, dense, very deep, still youthful. The nose is rich, clean, but does not have the same finesse as other more classic great vintages, such as 1953, 1955 and 1959. The power really comes through on the palate; we can feel just how concentra...

Vuosikerta 1949

In Bordeaux, the decade culminated in the hot year of 1949, when Bordeaux was hit by an unprecedented period of drought. Cold, rainy weather had hampered germination, resulting in an exceptionally uneven distribution of pollen. This, in turn, led to a record harvest. With the arrival of summer, Bordeaux was subjected to a heatwave like it had never seen before. Temperatures of up to 43°C have been recorded in Médoc. Early September brought mas...

Kirjoita arviosi

The wine exhibits a deep garnet color with a subtle brick hue, indicative of its venerable age.

The nose is enchantingly complex, featuring a rich array of aromas including ripe black cherries, cassis, and a touch of dried fig. These fruit notes are beautifully woven with elegant layers of cigar box, leather, and a hint of dried rose petals.

Full-bodied and opulent, the palate reveals a decadent spread of mature dark fruit flavors complemented by nuances of dark chocolate, earth, and subtle spices. The tannins are silky and fully integrated, providing a smooth texture that enhances the wine's elegant structure.

The finish is long and deeply satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of tobacco and fine spices, leaving a lasting impression of balance and richness.

The 1949 Chateau Margaux displaying remarkable depth, complexity, and elegance. This vintage continues to offer a profound and luxurious tasting experience. It is a magnificent example of how gracefully Chateau Margaux can age, revealing layers of developed flavors and aromas that enchant and delight the senses.

1949 is one of the most concentrated vintages of Château Margaux; such tannic power did not appear again until 1961, and then again in 1986. Its colour is stunning, dense, very deep, still youthful. The nose is rich, clean, but does not have the same finesse as other more classic great vintages, such as 1953, 1955 and 1959. The power really comes through on the palate; we can feel just how concentrated the tannins are, and these still give the wine a firmness, even an astringency, which is surprising in a wine of this age. The finish lacks a little smoothness, but generally it is a remarkable wine. It is difficult to say whether it should be drunk now or kept... We believe this wine has potential for improving, but perhaps it will also eventually dry out a little. So, perhaps it would be better to drink it !
