AOC Margaux

Who has never heard of the beautiful AOC Margaux ? This appellation, officially created in 1954, resonates throughout history and is the southernmost of the Médoc. Its magnificent terroir of gravel and sand explains why it has nearly 21 châteaux classified Grand Cru in the 1855 classification. Spanning 1500 hectares, Margaux is also the largest communal appellation in the area and produces only red wines. The grape varieties are typically Médocain, with a majority of cabernet-sauvignon (55%), followed by merlot (38%). The wines produced here are very successful due to their very silky and harmonious character, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy them in their youth as well as at full maturity decades later.
