CHATEAU MARGAUX, 2007

MARGAUX

"The elegant 2007 Chateau Margaux's purity, depth of fruit, and overall equilibrium are impressive. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of spring flowers, black currants, and blackberries, a soft, lush, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and delicacy allied to impressive depth, texture, and length. Already drinkable, it should continue to offer exceptional pleasure for 15 or more years." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes

The history of the Château dates back to the 13th century, when a fortress known as the “Château de la Mothe de Margaux” was mentioned, with “motte” meaning hill, a rare feature on the Médoc plain. In the 15th century, the vineyard was structured, transitioning from cereal farming to viticulture. In 1855, the vineyard was awarded the title of 1st Grand Cru Classé. The property was sold in 1977 to André Mentzelopoulos, who undertook major modernization work. Today, his daughter Corinne continues his legacy.
