Considerable work was required in the vines to compensate for the effects of the adverse weather conditions; first, to protect the vines, then to thin the crop which promised to be large, and finally to carry out particularly meticulous sorting at harvest time.
This wine, though relatively modest in scale, reveals great distinction and finesse, with a beautifully harmonious character. One might have feared insufficient tannin ripeness in this vintage, but their suppleness and roundness once again bear witness to the genius of the terroir.
Today, Château Margaux 1992 displays a lot of charm and finesse on the nose. On the palate, it is tender and refined, finishing on a very soft note. This wine may not impress, but it offers genuine pleasure.
It can be enjoyed now—though there’s no rush. (February 2025)
Climate
After a very dry winter, the weather was wet during the flowering, which was long and uneven. The summer was hot, but August was particularly rainy, which affected the health of the vines more than usual. Fine weather never really settled in after that. (The picking began on 29th September)
