Château Margaux has been one of the great names of the Médoc for centuries. Since 1977, the Mentzelopoulos family has managed the estate, combining tradition with research and architectural renewal (including the cellar by Norman Foster). This attitude shapes the style: precision, longevity and an unmistakable Margaux signature.
On the nose, blackcurrant, blackberry and violet, underpinned by graphite, cedar and a subtle warmth of spice. Silky yet firm on the palate: ultra-fine tannins, cool freshness, enormous depth and a very long, clear finish with a mineral touch.
Strict plot selection, gentle processing and fermentation in oak; followed by ageing for 18–24 months in new French barriques, finally frequent fining with egg white – for polish without heaviness.
