Viticulture

Château Margaux was the first Bordeaux vintage to appear in a Christie's catalog, in March 1776. Taken over from the Ginestet family by André Mentzelopoulos in 1977, the estate is now run by his daughter Corinne. The terroir is composed of clay-limestone soil and quaternary gravel. The 82-hectare vineyard covers the entire northeastern part of the village of Margaux. The average age of the vines is 30 years. Planting density is 10,000 vines/ha.

Oenology

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted before vinification. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled oak vats and lasts 3 weeks. The Margaux wine is matured for 18 to 24 months in new oak barrels. Before bottling, the wine is fined with egg white.
