Margaux

Margaux is one of the most important appellations in Bordeaux. It lies in the southern part of the Haut-Médoc on the Left Bank of the Gironde River. Unlike other prestigious Bordeaux appellations, Margaux's vineyards are not separated by quality. This means that vines belonging to the most celebrated châteaux often sit side-by-side with those of less exclusive wineries. All vineyards here benefit from the same gravel-rich soil and climate. Margaux wines tend to follow the typical Bordeaux blend, boasting a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon than Merlot. These supple reds tend to have a strong, stable core of blackcurrant underpinned by a touch of cedar from time spent in oak. AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) is the most prestigious of the quality tiers within France’s wine classification system. AOC-designated wines must follow multiple different rules on a broad range of topics. Wines are regulated on the appellation, varietal inclusion, production methods, alcohol levels, vineyard planting density and age of the vineyard.
