Margaux
This prestigious Left Bank appellation is home to some of the world’s most famous red wines made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a stellar reputation for beautifully perfumed wines with elegant tannins. Situated in Bordeaux’s Haut-Médoc, Margaux benefits from the moderating influence of the Gironde estuary and warm, stony soils; ideally suited to ripening Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
From the eponymous first growth Château Margaux, recognised as one of the world’s greatest wines with a far-reaching history, to a stellar array of cru classé properties the likes of Château Rauzan-Ségla, Château Lascombes and Château Kirwan, the appellation of Margaux produces an eye-watering array of the most sought-after and ageworthy Bordeaux reds to be found. Boasting rich blackberry character and wonderful complexity from spice, cigar box, graphite and truffled notes, the elegance and sophistication of Margaux wines is simply sublime.
