Producer Information

Chateau Margaux (in the Margaux region) is one of the 5 First Growths. The chateau itself is a strong contender for being the most splendid, nicknamed the 'Versailles of the Medoc'; the imposing 19th Century four-square palace is an impressive site and is certainly worthy of the incredible wines produced on the estate! Unsurprisingly it appears on the Chateau Margaux label. All four common red Bordeaux varieties are planted, these being Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) and Franc (about 3%), Merlot (20%) and Petit Verdot (about 2%).

Chateau Margaux is an estate clearly worthy of its position as a Premier Cru over the last twenty to twenty-five years the wines that bear the distinctively elegant label of Chateau Margaux are without doubt some of the greatest wines of all Bordeaux; showing finesse, perfume, concentration and longevity. This is fine wine at its best.
