Château Margaux is one of the wine world’s true icons. Not only did the First Growth set the pace in the original 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, but it’s been one of the most resolutely traditional estates—combining impeccable quality with a sense of history like few others in wine.
By the 17th century, Château Margaux was almost the exact same size as it is today—so the terroir that informs the grand vin has remained nearly unchanged—and it was nearly as famous, as well. By 1771, Margaux became the first Claret to be sold at Christies, and Thomas Jefferson visited on his trip through Bordeaux, declaring “there couldn’t be a better Bordeaux bottle.”
Very little has changed with Margaux’s fame since, though they’re making the best wines in their history today. Thanks to a thorough remodeling of their cellar in 2015, they boast one of the most thoroughly equipped wineries in Bordeaux to go along with their impeccable soil and perfectly maintained vineyards.
