Château Margaux - Margaux - 1er Cru Classé en 1855 - Rouge - 1987

Wine:

Robert Parker included this wine in the great wines of the 1987 vintage! He described it as follows: "Although it is undoubtedly a success for the vintage, among the best, I have a marked preference for Mouton-Rothschild, Lafite-Rothschild and Haut-Brion. Château Margaux 1987 is more herbaceous than it usually is, but shows nice richness as well as a solid texture suggesting concentration and depth".

Vinification:

Harvesting by hand, 18-24 months' ageing in new oak barrels.

Palate:

This wine is part of a private collection that has been stored in optimal temperature and hygrometry conditions. Each bottle was appraised by our Master Sommelier and has been very carefully handled by the entire Ventealapropriete team right up to its delivery. This bottle is rare and ephemeral, the result of a long, patient evolution. There can be no exchanges or returns once it has been opened or consumed. Enjoy your tasting!

Temperature:

Serve between 16-18°C. Due to the presence of a deposit, a decanting from one bottle to another may be necessary to further enhance the drinking enjoyment.

Food and wine pairing:

Red meats and mushrooms, grilled beef flank steaks, risotto with woodland mushrooms in a rich brown jus, black truffle dishes and a cheese platter that ideally includes some farmhouse Saint-Nectaire.

Cellar aging:
