1934
At last—a truly fine vintage! The only one in the 1930s…
Château Margaux 1934 is still superb. It displays a deep, dense colour and a fine, fresh, complex bouquet. On the palate, it is powerful and rich with tannins that are very present though slightly dry on the finish.
Bottle quality has become inconsistent, but most magnums remain excellent. It is obviously a wine to enjoy now, as it can only lose the wonderful qualities it still possesses. (February 2024)
Climate
The hot and dry summer was followed by excellent weather conditions during the whole of the harvest and allowed this bumper crop to reach an excellent level of ripeness. (The picking began 14th September)
