Located in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, Chateau Margaux is one of four wine estates to achieve Premier cru (1st growth) status in 1855. 🍷 The estate has been occupied since the 12th century, and was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon. It has belonged to the Mentzelopoulos family since 1977. 🍷 This past weekend I had the opportunity to enjoy a glass of both 1994 and 1999 Chateau Margaux. The wine is extraordinary! 🍷 The 1994 started out shy, but after about 30 minutes it delivered notes of dried fruit, dusty earth, crushed roses, dried herbs, cassis, and spice; with a velvet mouth-feel, and a long finish. Plenty of life left in this wine. The 1999 opened with dark juicy fruit, spice, eucalyptus, and cassis, but ironically after 30 minutes it began to fade. However, both were highly enjoyable. It is always a treat to savor such an iconic wine. #mondaymotivation #winelife #dallaswineaux #bordeaux #winetasting #winelover #chateaumargaux #winewinewine #wineonmytime #wineofthenight #onceinalifetime #bordeauxwine #redwine #cabernetsauvignon #medoc
