1904

Grand Vin du Château Margaux

1904
Quite a large crop. The wines were rather good and immediately enjoyed an excellent reputation, after three previous poor vintages (1901, 1902 and 1903). Perhaps the reputation of this vintage was a little exaggerated, as it was for the same reasons, for the 1975.
