Margaux
The Margaux appellation is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious in the Médoc. AOC controlled since 1954, it covers around 1,400 hectares and produces an average of 63,000 hl of red wines per year. Château Margaux also produces a small quantity of its white flag under the AOC Bordeaux.
It is also the only Haut-Médoc appellation to bear the name of a Premier Grand Cru Classé, Château Margaux.
Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet France and Petit Verdot, the wines are fine, elegant, harmonious with delicate tannins. The guard is often long.
Château Margaux and its Red Pavilion, Château Palmer, Château Giscours or even Rauzan-Ségla are some of the appellation's domains among many others that you can find below.
