1945 Chateau Margaux, Margaux, France, 750mL, [Mid Shoulder]

$4,745.00

A legendary wine from a historic year, the 1945 Château Margaux celebrates the end of World War II with immense power, elegance, and symbolism. More refined than its 1947 and 1949 counterparts, it showcases a concentrated, ripe profile with a complex bouquet. Long considered youthful, it is now at its peak, offering a remarkable expression of its era.

The vintage was shaped by extremes: a devastating May frost sharply reduced yields, but a flawless summer and ideal harvest conditions (beginning September 12) produced one of the greatest wines of the 20th century. With its structure, depth, and historic significance, the 1945 Margaux remains a profound reminder of resilience and renewal.
