瑪歌堡是美多克一級酒莊位處最南方的一個，且以地處的地名命名，60-70年代世界經濟蕭條，當時瑪歌堡的莊主也因為財力缺缺，無法好好整頓莊園，酒質已走下坡，直到1977年此莊園賣給了Andre Mentzelopoulos先生，他不惜花下大筆的金錢整頓，並聘請波爾多釀酒大師Emile Peynaud培諾當顧問，次年1978年起瑪歌堡死灰復燃，重回應有的本色，達到一級酒莊的水準。
瑪歌酒以圓潤著稱，是女性朋友的最愛，酒色不像波亞克區這般地深遂，但仍是款濃郁有深度的佳釀。裝瓶前的瑪歌先得經過18-24個月在100%新橡木桶中的醇化期，成熟後的她散發出多層次的黑醋栗果香、香料香、香草香以及橡木香。瑪歌堡的單寧柔滑不澀口，她就像一位溫柔、細緻又高雅的淑女，正待有心人仕的珍愛。

The 1982 Chateau Margaux is a wine that I have tasted many times, constantly contrasted against the 1983 to see which is better. Frankly I found that it depends on the bottle, although maybe the 1983 edges it. But it is important to assess the 1982 on its own individual merits because it is a superb First Growth. This was a great bottle: fragrant and beautifully defined on the nose that on this occasion offered a more conspicuous graphite scent, which lent it a Pauillac-like personality. Allowing the wine to open and aerate, the traits one associates with the property emerge—wilted violets and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and mineral-laden, that suggestion of candied orange peel on the entry segueing into layers of pure red and black fruit. There is always something effortless about this Chateau Margaux and the pixelation on the finish is up there with the very best. Is it the best 1982 First Growth? No, it's not quite up there with 1982 Latour or Mouton-Rothschild, however, it is a sublime evocation of the vineyard and it will continue to give pleasure for a couple of decades yet. Tasted May 2016.
