1955
1955 combined most of the characteristics that are necessary to produce a great vintage—in particular, a hot, dry August and excellent conditions during the harvest.
Château Margaux 1955 was a success: light in colour, it is a wine full of charm and freshness, delicacy and smoothness. The bouquet is superb, and the palate perfectly harmonious; it may lack a bit of density to be considered a truly great vintage.
It is perfect to enjoy now, although its development in bottle—and especially in magnum—may yet surprise us.

Climate
After a rainy start to the summer, in June and July, the months of August and September were dry and hot. The fine weather carried on throughout the harvest. (The picking began 22nd September)
