Château Margaux
シャトー・マルゴー
The most perfumed and feminine of Bordeaux's First Growths — 'the queen of the Médoc'
Château Margaux is the jewel of the Margaux appellation and one of Bordeaux's five First Growths, with roots dating back to the 12th century. Revived to legendary status by the Mentzelopoulos family since their acquisition in 1977, the estate's 262-hectare property includes 82 hectares of red vines and 12 hectares devoted exclusively to Sauvignon Blanc for the white wine Pavillon Blanc. The grand vin is widely considered the most feminine and perfumed of the Médoc First Growths — extraordinary violet and rose petal aromas, silky tannins, and breathtaking length define its singular character.
