Tasting Notes

Château Margaux 1981 is a distinguished Bordeaux red from one of the Médoc’s most celebrated estates. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification, Château Margaux is renowned for its elegance, aromatic complexity, silky texture, and exceptional capacity for graceful ageing.

This mature vintage offers a compelling opportunity to experience the refined character of aged Bordeaux. Developed aromas of dark fruit, cedar, tobacco, earth, and subtle spice lead to a polished palate with supple tannins and a long, lingering finish. Decades of careful evolution have shaped a wine of poise, depth, and remarkable nuance.

Sourced from a premium private cellar, this collectible bottle reflects the enduring prestige of Château Margaux and the timeless appeal of fine Médoc wine. Its condition and presentation are best assessed through provenance, storage history, and careful bottle inspection. Allow the wine appropriate rest before serving, followed by gentle decanting to preserve its delicate mature character.

Critic Scores

The other wine of the vintage. Seriously powerful with fabulous color and mint, cassis and berry aromas and flavors. Has a full body and is tannic; still needs time to come around.

About this Wine

Chateau Margaux

One of the five First Growths from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Chateau Margaux is an estate with a prolific past. Located in the commune of Margaux AOC, on the left bank of the Garrone estuary in Bordeaux, the Chateau dates back to the late 1500s when Pierre de Lestonnac converted the land, then used for cereals into vineyard. The property has shifted hands a number of times but is now fully owned by Corrine Mentzelopoulos, who inherited a portion from her father and purchased the remainder of the shares in 2003.Of the estate's holdings, 80 hectares are planted with red varietals of which 75% is Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and the remainder is Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The soil is the thinnest in the Medoc with the highest proportion of gravel, whose propensity for drainage assists in the production of fine, silky wines. Its grand vin is a blend of its finest parcels of red varieties and is often described as the most elegant of the First Growths; a charming wine with purity of fruit and finesse.
