2001 Chateau Margaux – First Growth Elegance from a Classic Vintage

The 2001 Chateau Margaux continues the estate’s long-standing tradition of crafting age-worthy, refined wines from the heart of Margaux. As one of the five Bordeaux First Growth estates, Château Margaux exemplifies elegance over power, and this vintage offers collectors a beautifully matured expression with decades still ahead.

Tasting Notes

The bouquet is layered and expressive, revealing notes of blackcurrant, violets, dried tobacco leaf, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with remarkable finesse—showing red plum, graphite, and cedar, supported by fine tannins and a seamless structure. The 2001 finishes long and persistent, echoing the hallmark aromatic complexity of Margaux terroir.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Located on deep gravel soils over limestone, the vineyard is planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller parcels of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The 2001 vintage underwent a traditional vinification with aging in 100% new French oak barrels for approximately 18–22 months. The château’s strict parcel selection ensures only the finest lots make it into the Grand Vin.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2001 Chateau Margaux remains one of the more overlooked collector vintages, offering tremendous value relative to surrounding years. Now entering peak maturity, it’s ideal for near-term drinking or continued cellaring. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Insights

The **2001 growing season** began with a mild spring and even flowering, followed by a warm, dry summer that allowed for steady phenolic development. A cool September helped preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. In Margaux, the vintage is widely praised for its finesse, clarity of fruit, and balance—particularly for estates that emphasize elegance.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Performing well from bottle, Chateau Margaux’s 2001, which is somewhat reminiscent of both the 1985 and 1999, is an elegant, seamlessly constructed effort with a deep ruby/purple color, and a beautiful nose of flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, and cedar. A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, this forward, opulent beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. This is one of the most elegant wines of the vintage. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: June 2004. Drinking window: 2004 - 2024.

Vinous

The 2001 Château Margaux, last tasted five years previously, is slightly deeper in color compared with the 2001 Pavillon. Featuring black plum, raspberry and touches of orange peel, rose petal and light bay leaf aromas, the bouquet is not intense, but it is well defined and focused. The palate is fresh on the entry with fine-boned tannins and a taut line of acidity – a strict Château Margaux that doesn’t want to muck about. It’s little short on the finish, yet sophisticated and providing unadulterated buvabilité. Drinking perfectly now, and it will be enjoyable over the next 15–20 years.
