This collection was established in 1992, sparked by a flight of Chateau Margaux that included the landmark 1982 vintage. Between 1993 and 2000, the owner built the cellar through the SAQ Courrier Vinicole, acquiring 100–125 bottles of First through Fifth Growth Bordeaux annually as futures, while selectively adding premier 1980s vintages through special SAQ offerings. As the sole proprietor, he has ensured the wines remained in consistent storage within his brother’s cellar. Following the sale of his brother’s home, the owner is now offering these long-held bottles to the market. This offering represents a carefully curated, single-owner cellar with 100% SAQ provenance.
1998 Chateau Margaux from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, Wine and Spirits 96 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 95 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1998 Chateau Margaux from Robert Parker - The 1998 Margaux's color is a dense ruby/purple. The wine is tannic and austere, but elegant, with notes of asphalt, blackberries, acacia flowers, and sweet, toasty oak. Subtle, rich, nicely-textured, and medium-bodied, it is built for the long haul. .
