Chateau Margaux is one of the five First Growths ranked in the 1855
Bordeaux Classification. The château is located within the commune of
Margaux in the Haut-Médoc in the 15th century fortified castle called
Lamoth. Grapes have been cultivated on the property since the 16th
century. Margaux's neo-Palladian style château was built in the 18th
century by architect Louis Combes for the Marquis de la Colonilla.
Château Margaux has been well regarded in history and stands among
Thomas Jefferson's favorite châteaux. Since 1977, the estate has been
directed by the Mentzelopoulos family with wine making team director
Paul Pontallier, cellar master Jean Grangerou and consulting oenologist
Emile Peynaud. The vineyards are primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (75%),
with the balance composed of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
In addition to the château's grand vin, the estate produces a second
label called Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux and Pavillon Blanc de
Château Margaux, a white made from Sauvignon Blanc. Château Margaux's
finest vintages include 1900, 1928, 1953, 1961, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1990,
1996, 2000, 2003, and 2005.
