Château Margaux 2003

A refined and highly concentrated Margaux wine

The estate

With origins dating back to the 12th century, the Château Margaux is one of those Grand Crus that have built the legend of great Bordeaux wines around the world. The château was awarded the title of Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855 and was the only one of the four châteaux presented to have received a score of twenty out of twenty. With the acquisition of the estate by André Mentzelopoulos in 1977, Château Margaux writes a new page in its history. Elevating the Grand Vin de Château Margaux to the highest level, he reintroduced the Second Wine of the château, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, initiated in 1908. Following in her father's footsteps due to his premature death, Corinne Mentzelopoulos took up the family banner with energy and passion to maintain the rank of Château Margaux, which has become a Bordeaux masterpiece, so recognizable by its neo-Palladian style. Vintage after vintage, the estate's crus are among the greatest wines in the world.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château Margaux owes its uniqueness to its rare and unique terroir, located on a gravel mound. The estate's grape variety gives pride of place to cabernet sauvignon, not forgetting merlot, petit verdot and cabernet franc. The clay-limestone soils of the estate give birth to legendary crus, with a racey and sensual appearance, so representative of the Margaux appellation.

Blend

Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, cabernet franc.
