Overview
A mature First Growth Bordeaux. The 1999 Château Margaux is distinguished by finesse, aromatic complexity and classical structure, combining purity and delicacy with supple texture, depth and a remarkably persistent finish. More than two decades after the vintage, it remains highly regarded, including a 100-point rating from Giuseppe Lauria’s Fine Wine Guide.
Vintage
Following early flowering, the 1999 summer was hot and sunny with occasional rain. Exceptionally fine weather from 20 August to 10 September brought the grapes close to ideal ripeness and concentration before heavy rain arrived later in September. Picking began on 22 September.
Producer Tasting Notes
“Château Margaux 1999 stands out for its great finesse, intensity and aromatic complexity. The nose combines great purity and great classicism. On the palate, it first reveals delicacy and suppleness, then softness, richness and density, before finishing with great length, displaying the wine’s true power. An extremely charming Château Margaux which is difficult to resist today, but has not yet finished surprising us. A great success.”

Critic Reviews
100 / 100 — Giuseppe Lauria, Fine Wine Guide
Tasted April 2017
96 / 100 — Doctorwine
“The unnaturally red color is bright and resplendent while evidence in the aroma of aging in wood is long gone and the bouquet is now of seaside brush, minerals, resin and spice. The mouthfeel is formidable, energetic, bold and austere.”

95 / 100 — Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“It takes no effort to find the blackberries, flowers, cigar box, 5 spice, smoke, licorice, and currants on the nose … The wine is vibrant and refined with a nice shot of dark chocolate that comes in on the backend of the endnote.”
