Margaux
Margaux
The southernmost of the four famous Médoc communes, on gravel banks along the left bank of the Gironde. Margaux is the largest of them by area and the one with the most classified growths — twenty-one châteaux from the 1855 classification, more than any other appellation.
What is here
Château Margaux is the First Growth. Below it sit a deep bench of classified estates — Palmer, Rauzan-Ségla, Brane-Cantenac, Lascombes, Giscours, d'Issan, Malescot and others — along with their second labels and a large number of unclassified crus bourgeois that share the same soils.
What to expect
Margaux is Cabernet Sauvignon–led, blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Its reputation is for perfume and finer tannin than Pauillac or Saint-Estèphe — lighter on first impression, which is not the same as lighter in the cellar. The appellation is large and the gravel is not uniform, so the gap between the top estates and the rest is wider here than in the smaller communes. Buy on the château name, not on the appellation.
Serving and cellaring
16–18°C, decanted an hour or more. Classified Margaux from a serious vintage is normally left ten years before opening; second labels and cru bourgeois are drinkable much earlier.
