Margaux wine is concocted from way up north, in a place called Margaux (of course) near the regions of (but is a far cry from) its congenial neighbors in Haut-Médoc. Margaux hold their marshlands in high esteem. They only have a handful of these marshlands which are homes to the name sharing premier cru located st the southern part of St. Julien. They have a rare taste as compared to the Bordeaux kind and this most possibly came about due to its distance from its neighboring regions, geographically speaking.

Out of all the kinds of wines in the Margaux region, nothing could top Cabernet Sauvignon. After all, it belongs to the top 3 most popular wines anywhere in the world. There is also another one topping the charts of the Margaux wines and that is Merlot. These kinds of wines produced from exquisite grapes that were harvested from the rich and diverse soil of the Margaux region. This means that their soil is lighter than that in the northern region. Therefore, the wines they produce are very flavorful, aromatic, unique, elegant and seasoned. Because of the superb quality of their wines, they are priced much higher than the other kinds.





In terms of growth, their first growth is Chateau Margaux while their third growth is Chateau Palmer. People love these two but they do come at a high price. For those who couldn't afford these real quality wines, they can try Cru Bourgeois, the less expensive kind.





For those who want to see more of the exquisite Margaux wines, you must travel up north. If you're coming from the wine regions of ancient times, Graves and Sautemes, you will pass through the region of Medoc. There are other villages there but it was Margaux who dominated the place. It's name not only became a brand name in the region, but it also became known as Chateau Margaux as it offered its name to the only Premier Grand Cru Classe estate for the region.





The Brand of Margaux


Chateaux Margaux is a very elegant estate. The view is awe-inspiring and very grand. One can immediately see its wide expanse through the huge gate made of vertical steel bars. To enter such a property is indeed such an honor and pleasure. Once you're inside, you can then visit their wine cellars and barrel-making areas. All visitors are lucky visitors for they offer wine tasting of their exquisite wines.





All these things make Margaux wine the wine it is today --- delicate, expensive, elegant. And it is still Chateau Margaux that is the standard bearer of the Margaux brand. Though very expensive, the buzz and excitement are well represented by the communes. Success has always been on the side of the Margaux brand because through the help of Paul Pontallier who runs the chai, the Mentzelopoulos family was able to provide continuous guidance.
