CHATEAU MARGAUX, 2024

Vision of the 2024 Vintage
“Crafting Château Margaux 2024 demanded constant attention. This particularly technical vintage required heightened precision right up to the harvest, where every decision was crucial to preserve the balance and aromatic purity that define our Grand Vin.” - Château Margaux
Viticulture
The 2024 vintage at Château Margaux was marked by a rainy, mild winter with unprecedented rainfall. From October 18 to March 28, 1,000 mm of precipitation fell—300 mm more than what had previously defined a rainy vintage. Budbreak occurred early, 7 to 10 days ahead of recent averages, while flowering was slightly delayed. Veraison was similar to other rainy vintages like 2014 and 2016.
The mosaic of terroirs at the estate led to varied responses. On deep, cool soils, vines experienced more pronounced humidity—particularly those used for the third wine of Château Margaux. In contrast, the gravelly, well-draining and early-ripening terroirs proved invaluable in preserving the potential of the 2024 vintage.
Harvest
The harvest was dictated by regular rainfall, prompting Château Margaux to proceed in two phases. The first harvest took place from September 23 to 29, followed by a second from September 30 to October 8. This decision was made to preserve the quality of the vintage and to allow grapes to reach optimal ripeness by monitoring each plot closely and precisely.
Sorting was rigorous, and average yield reached 30 hl/ha. Notably, 46% of the crop was selected for the Grand Vin, as the best Cabernet Sauvignon plots were less affected by mildew.
Tasting Château Margaux 2024
“Château Margaux is dominated by 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it structure and depth. It is complemented by 5% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, which add aromatic complexity and refine its balance.” - Château Margaux

History and anecdotes
The history of the Château dates back to the 13th century when it was a fortress known as “Château de la Mothe Margaux”, the word “motte” meant “small hill” which is a rare relief on the Medoc plain. In the 15th century, the vineyard was structured thanks to the Lestonnac family, which anticipated the Medoc agricultural turn, abandoning cereal farming towards vine-growing. In 1855, the vineyard was classified as Premier Grand Cru in the 1855 classification. The estate was sold to André Mentzelopoulos in 1977, he started important modernization works. Nowadays, his daughter Corinne, keeps working on her father’s creation.Vineyard Detail
