Chateau Margaux is one of those legendary wines that we love at The World of Wine. Classified as one of only five First Growths, it is located on the left bank in the appellation of Margaux. Château Margaux’s origins date back to the 12th century when the land was initially cultivated. The Margaux estate began taking shape in the 16th century when the Lestonnac family consolidated surrounding lands to create a special vineyard. Château Margaux has one of the Médoc's most varied and balanced terroirs, with deep gravel soils mixed with clay and limestone. Château Margaux is renowned for producing some of Bordeaux’s most refined and aromatic wines. While the wines possess the structure and depth characteristic of First Growth Bordeaux, they are often softer and more fragrant than their counterparts, with a seductive balance of power and elegance.
