1976 Château Margaux

1976 Château Margaux is certainly a wine for special occasions. Fans of vintage wines from Bordeaux’s Left Bank would really enjoy the incredible combination of power and elegance in the same wine, a feat that only the best of the best Châteaux in Mèdoc can offer. At php44,000 a bottle, it is considered by wine collector as a steal and there are good reasons why that is so.

The longevity of Château Margaux is beyond question as the stellar 1900 Château Margaux has inspired so many wine writers to laud it as one of the ten wines of the last century. Wine lovers in Philippines have developed a palate for fine and rare vintage wines properly aged to exude a certain elegance and charm that same wines of younger vintages can’t offer.

Along with another legend Château Lafite-Rothschild from Pauillac, Château Margaux is well regarded by wine collectors in the Philippines as one of the best bets for long-term cellaring. Older vintages such as this 1976 Château Margaux are harder and harder to come by especially for vintages that were not super hyped by wine critics back then.

Price for the 1976 Château Margaux is php44,000, and only a few bottles are available from Yats Wine Cellars or Clark Wine Center and other wine outlets of Yats Wine Cellars in Manila.

1976 may not rank among the greatest vintages of the last century in Bordeaux but wines from this year which is often characterized as warm and ripe have consistently surprised wine connoisseurs, critics and collectors in the most pleasant way.

This 1976 Château Margaux might have seen better days but it is by no means washed up. In fact, this Margaux exudes the most attractive of feminine charm that fans of Claret describe as moreish. True to form, the 1976 Château Margaux makes it almost impossible for anyone not to keep reaching for the bottle to pour more into the glass, provided that there is enough wine left for the pouring of course.

Is the 1976 Château Margaux worth the price? That is always a very subjective questions, often soul searching too. Considering how long it has been cellared and preserved in such good condition, one has to expect to pay at least this much for one of the five legends on Médoc.
