Château Margaux

A privilege to bear the name of its appellation Margaux, for Château Margaux there is no doubt ample justification. For several centuries this Premier Cru Classé has expressed the highest degree of quality of exceptional terroir patiently assembled by several generations of owners. Maintained and harvested exclusively by hand with extreme care, the 78 hectares of vines (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) derive their wealth deep in the soil which is clayey gravelly and particularly dense and thick. The château also produces a second wine, Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux, and a dry white wine, Pavillon Blanc de Château Margaux.

The best vintages of Château Margaux are : 1900, 1928, 1953 and the vintage 1982. Also, we suggest Margaux 1989, le Château Margaux 1990 et le Château Margaux 1996. Enfin, le Château Margaux 2005 est particulièrement remarquable.
