1987
The greatest terroirs always reveal themselves when conditions are at their worst. Château Margaux 1987 displays a lot of finesse and aromatic complexity. It may lack the fatness and opulence of a great vintage, but the distinction and pedigree of a great wine are unmistakably present.
It is now reaching its peak and can be enjoyed, but there is no rush. (February 2025)
Climate
The weather was unsettled for the whole year. Hot weather and dry conditions never really set in, except for a ten-day spell in September, when it was very hot. The harvest began relatively late in difficult conditions with frequent rain showers. Fortunately, the weather was cold, which prevented any rot from developing. (The picking began 5th October)
