Chateau Margaux, Grand Cru 1975

From the Margaux Appellation (to which it gives its name) in the Medoc sub-region on the left-bank of the Bordeaux, where Cabernet Sauvignon is dominant (though Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec are all permissable). This 1st Growth Grand Cru dates back to the 12th century when it was know as “La Mothe de Margaux” and is steeped in history, haveing been drank by Thomas Jefferson who famously declared  “There couldn’t be a better Bordeaux bottle”

The Margaux vineyard for the production of red wine is planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. This shows a marked increase in the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the vineyards. The final blend on average usually contains close to 85% Cabernet Sauvignon in most vintages. On average, the vines are 35 years of age. However, there are parcels with very Cabernet Sauvignon vines, which are close to 80 years of age.

Please note general condition of this bottle, including labels, fill level and seal.

Compass Box Juveniles

From the Compass Box archives: 

\"Made for Tim Johnston and his Juveniles wine bar in Paris. Originally, we made something just for Tim to sell at his restaurant, but our French importer, then all our European importers, asked to sell it. The whisky combined three malts (distilled in the villages of Brora, Longmorn and Muir of Ord), all aged in first-fill bourbon barrels.

This was one of the first malts ever to be able to boast this type of high quality oak aging. Unfortunately, when the distillery owner of each of the distilleries ran out of aged stock of this quality, we decided to retire the whisky.\"
