Margaux 1989 is a red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Emerging from a record-breaking summer, this First Growth reflects the sheer concentration possible when deep gravel mounds are subjected to intense heat. The fruit was vinified in traditional oak vats and matured in 100% new French oak, creating a wine of immense scale. The 1989 is defined by its aromatic transition from violets to truffle and black tea, supported by refined, silky tannins that have integrated seamlessly over decades.
