Chateau Margaux
Chateau Margaux is one of the few vineyards to have remained relatively unchanged for centuries.
To illustrate that point, by 1680, the vineyards consisted of 75 hectares of vines.
Today, 350 years later, the vineyards are almost the same size with 80 planted hectares of vines, just like it was in 1700.
The vineyards of Chateau Margaux were fully developed in the 1600’s by the d’Auledes family. By the end of the 17th century, Chateau Margaux grew to 265 hectares.
One third of that acreage was cultivated for grapes to produce wine. The remainder was devoted to parkland, greenery and trees.

The style of wine produced by Chateau Margaux at its best, blends elegance, purity of fruit, harmony and finesse. If wines were actors, perhaps it could be described as having the charm, style, finesse and elegance of Cary Grant.
It is rich, full bodied and offers cassis, truffle and haunting scents of violets.
There was a reason America’s third President and first serious wine collector favored Margaux. In 1787, he said “Chateau Margaux is one of the top 4 Bordeaux wines”.
Over 200 years later, his words still ring true.
