History

Once upon a time, in the history of the great wines of Bordeaux … The Chateau Margaux, known since the twelfth century. It is under the yoke of Eleanor of Aquitaine and especially by the adoption of his son Richard Coeur de Lion of the Bordeaux wine at his daily table that will be born the vines of the Chateau. As early as 1572, the Lestonnac family began the work that will give Chateau Margaux its current configuration. At the end of the XVIIth century, Chateau Margaux occupied 265 hectares, surface of which it will not deviate any more, a third of the field is devoted to the vine. Chateau Margaux becomes a reference of the art of making wine and the hierarchy between the different Bordeaux wines is already drawing. Apart from a few minor changes, Chateau Margaux’s label has remained remarkably stable since the end of the 19th century. In 1950, the Ginestet family became owner of the estate, before giving way to the Mentzelopoulos family, by the father and his daughter Corinne, now sole owner of the Chateau. Perhaps its sobriety and elegance correspond so well to the personality of the wine that it has never seemed appropriate to change anything. Pavillon Blanc is the white second wine of the Chateau.

Terroir & Vinification

A terroir, became an appellation and a Chateau: what a symbol. This famous official classification of 1855 which divides in five levels of quality about sixty wines of the Medoc region and a property of Graves. Only four wines are classified as “Premier Grand Cru Classe”; Margaux is the only one to be rated 20 out of 20. This classification, which remains valid today, only confirms the qualitative hierarchy illustrated by the large price differences practiced by the world market for a long time. The Chateau Margaux white vineyard covers

11 hectares, planted in Sauvignon Blanc. The vines are on average 35 years old and the harvest is done traditionally by hand. The wine is aged between 18 and 24 months in 100% new barrels. All bottles of Chateau Margaux labeled from March 7, 2011 are equipped with a security system by bubble code that allows to verify the authenticity. This new system is in addition to the many measures that have been taken since the 1989 vintage (laser code, secure capsules).
