Château Margaux has always been among the greatest estates in the Médoc. During the 1855 classification, it was awarded the supreme score of 20/20.
As the only Premier Grand Cru Classé in the commune of Margaux, it remains one of the most evocative names in the Bordeaux vineyard.
The long-aging wines produced there are fragrant, elegant, and renowned for combining finesse and power. They feature deep aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, which, after a few years, mingle with more evolved scents of tobacco and cedar.
Although its tannic concentration is often exceptional, it is rare to detect any astringency.
The name Margaux transcends its wine and evokes supreme refinement; we are speaking here of one of the symbols of French culture.

Château Margaux has reigned incontestably over the southern Haut-Médoc since the 17th century. The first "claret" to appear at the famous Christie's auction house, it also stood at the head of the class during the 1855 Classification, when it was awarded the perfect score of 20/20 in addition to its title of Premier Grand Cru Classé. Focused on excellence from its very beginnings, Château Margaux has overcome crises (the French Revolution, wars, phylloxera) thanks to significant investments from its owners, each in turn fascinated by the infinite potential of this terroir.
In 1977, André Mentzelopoulos purchased Margaux. This Greek businessman (who owned the Felix Potin company), captivated by the château's Ionic columns (often called the "Versailles of the Médoc") which reminded him of his native Greece, began a formidable investment program. His impact was spectacular, whether in the vineyard, the cellars, or the château itself. He implemented drainage and replanting... He restored the reputation of the Pavillon Rouge. He redefined the Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux. He introduced aging in new barrels, planned the construction of the region's first large underground cellar, and finally, restored the château. After his passing in 1980, his daughter Corinne Mentzelopoulos took over the management of Château Margaux, continuing her father's work and capitalizing on the exponential global demand for Bordeaux wines starting in 1982. In 2013, a third wine was created to further refine the quality of the first and second wines. In 2015, a new cellar, designed by Norman Foster, allowed for "haute-couture" winemaking: Margaux has reclaimed its rank.
Today...
2009, 2010, 2015, 2016, and an exceptional trilogy of 2018, 2019, and 2020 confirm that Château Margaux's place at the top of the 1855 Classification is more deserved than ever.
