Description

A bottle of 1978 Château Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classé.

Château Margaux is ranked as a First Growth under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. It is a 78 hectare estate planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Described by many as being the most feminine of the First Growths, wine writer Stephen Brook notes instead its 'perfume and purity, a crystalline note of the exquisite that is rare even among the great growths of the Médoc.

'The 1978 Château Margaux is drinking at point today yet is still lively and youthful. It’s a classy Margaux and a joy to drink. 93/100' Jeb Dunnuck, 2018
