Viniou Reviews

Château Hauterive 1982 is a classic representation of the Médoc subregion within Bordeaux. Known for its Cru Bourgeois classification, this red wine hails from the 1982 vintage, which is often celebrated for its exceptional quality. While the specific blend is not listed, Médoc wines typically involve a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and small percentages of other Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This wine exemplifies the rich terroir of the Médoc, with its gravelly soils that are great for drainage, thus perfect for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon. The vinification, although not described, would likely have followed traditional Bordeaux methods to enhance the wine's ageing potential.

The Médoc is situated on the Left Bank of the Gironde River, and its climate is heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, providing moderate temperatures and ample rainfall. This maritime climate, combined with well-drained gravelly soils, creates sublime conditions for the vineyards, helping to produce structured, intense wines with excellent longevity. Historically, the Médoc region began to gain prominence in the 17th century when Dutch traders drained the marshlands, making way for the world-renowned vineyards we see today.

To appreciate Château Hauterive 1982 fully, consider pairing it with dishes that reflect both the wine's structure and depth. Bordeaux wines pair exquisitely with grilled or roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or even a classic duck confit. For a more local touch, try it alongside a traditional Bordelaise sauce-based dish.

When it comes to tasting this 1982 Médoc, decant it carefully to separate any sediment. This wine should be served at a temperature of around 16-18°C to allow the complex bouquet to unfold gracefully. Enjoy observing how its evolved aromas, likely offering notes of cedar, plum, and cassis, harmonise on the palate with time, revealing a beautifully mature Bordeaux with a silky texture.
