Château Margaux

Château Margaux, a Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux, is one of the most famous wines in the world. Care has been lavished on the property by a line of owners with an abiding concern for the reputation of the estate. For more than five hundred years, season after season, generations of vineyard-workers, grape harvesters, cellar-workers, coopers and many other craftsmen have all played a part in making Château Margaux what it is today: a wine with an incomparable personality, reflected in the elegant Palladian building which adorns its label. In 1977, the estate was purchased by the late André Mentzelopoulos, and it is now run by his daughter, Corinne Mentzelopoulos.

Tasting Notes

Winemaker Philippe Bascaules has produced a refined and expressive Margaux. The bouquet is vibrant and aromatic, with notes of cassis, raspberry, black cherry, and violet. On the palate, the wine shows remarkable concentration with a vivid freshness and a distinctive mineral edge. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, offering a seamless texture that leads into a long, elegant finish. Classic and harmonious

Vinification

The 2024 vintage was harvested between 23rd September and 8th October, with yields kept low at 30hl/ha due to rigorous selection. The grand vin represents just 46% of the total crop, and the blend leans heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon, with a notably reduced proportion of Merlot this year.
