Château Margaux is one of the most famous wineries in the world. It is located in Bordeaux near the town of Margaux. Château Margaux is classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé according to the Bordeaux wine classification system of 1855. The estate includes 82 hectares for red wine and 12 hectares for white wine. On these 94 hectares, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc are grown. 12 hectares of Sauvignon blanc have been planted for white wine. The second wine from the winery is called Pavillon rouge. The white wine "Pavillon Blanc" is considered the best white wine of the Médoc. Since 2009, Château Margaux also produces a third wine called "Margaux du Château Margaux". This third wine has been made since 1997, but until 2009 it was always sold in bulk to other wine producers. As one of the largest and best-known producers in the Margaux, Chateau Margaux produces an average of 25,000 cases of their Grand vin.

Château Margaux's 2023 Grand Vin is without a doubt a great wine. This is largely due to the concentration of the grapes. The harvest required more delicate work than normal and therefore took longer, but this extra care was necessary to achieve the aromatic purity that characterizes the wines of Château Margaux. The harvest of red grapes started on September 11 with the first plots of Merlot. The grand vin Cabernet Sauvignon plots were picked on September 22. The harvest was completed on October 5. Château Margaux 2023 is a fine, precise, complex wine that accounts for 41% of the total harvest volume. Although it does not match the exceptional density of its predecessor, it has the same aromatic style and silky tannins.

The blend of Château Margaux consists mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, with 89%. The remainder of the blend consists of 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

FACT: It is also worth mentioning that we purchase the (Bordeaux) wines directly and never purchase them through intermediaries because we do not know which journeys the wine has made and how it has been treated. The wines come from the cellars of the Chateau directly to our conditioned Warehouse in Dordrecht where all our wines are stored.
