Wines by Château Margaux

Château Margaux

The exceptionally beautiful and majestic château can be considered the undisputed flagbearer of the eponymous AC Margaux. Even Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, highlighted the estate during his visit to France in 1787 as one of “the four best.”
On approximately 80 hectares of vineyards, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are grown. The estate, which is owned by Corinne Mentzelopoulos and was managed by Paul Pontallier until 2015, is one of the five world-renowned and highly sought-after Premier Crus.
Recently, the new building designed by renowned British architect Norman Foster made waves: it houses a laboratory, where a long-term experiment with aluminum capsules is underway, designed to last 20 years. A significant portion of the vineyards is farmed organically, and the estate’s cooperage produces between 250 and 275 barrels annually, which are consistently destroyed after three years of use to prevent fraud and image damage.
