- Chateau Margaux 1987
The greatest
terroirs always show through when conditions are at their
worst. Chateau Margaux 1987 displays a lot of finesse and
aromatic complexity. It probably lacks the fatness and
opulence of a great vintage, but the distinction and
breed of a great wine are in evidence. It is now reaching
its peak and we can start drinking it, but there is no
rush. (January 2007)

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)
