Chateau Margaux 2019 History

Built in 1811 by the Marquis Douat de Colonilla, Margaux boasts one of the most magnificent château in Bordeaux, the tree-lined driveway and neo-classical façade one of the most recognisable images of the region. Vineyards were developed back in the mid 17th century and by the beginning of the 18th century the wines of Margaux were already well-known as some of the best ‘new clarets’ in England.

Margaux was one of the original four first growths identified in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, the other three being Lafite, Latour and Haut-Brion, (Mouton was elevated in 1973). More recently, the Greek-born entrepreneur André Mentzelopoulos acquired the estate in 1977 and these days his daughter Corinne runs the show. The estate comprises 99ha, of which 87ha is red (75% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 5% petit Verdot & cabernet franc) and 12ha white (100% sauvignon blanc).

Jane Anson MW described the Margaux style in Decanter Magazine as "graceful, nuanced and perfumed."

The 2019 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. It's 13.9% alcohol.

This wine was purchased en-primeur and arrived in August 2022. Since then it has been stored in a temperature controlled cabinet.
