1974

Grand Vin du Château Margaux

1974
Another difficult vintage after 1972 and 1973, as much for the quality of the wines as for the crisis in the market... This wine is still quite tannic, with a slightly dry finish.

Climate

After a reasonable summer, the month of September was rainy and cold and did not allow the grapes to reach a good level of ripeness. (The picking began 20th September)
