CHATEAU MARGAUX
There have been moments or startling brilliance, such as the monumental 1945 or 1953 vintages and since the Mentzelopoulos family took over in the late 1970’s the wines have been on magnificent form; the wines from the 1980’s and 1990’s are nothing short of spectacular. The wines of Château Margaux are celebrated for their elegance and finesse and for their inimitable fragrance.
The Ginestet family became majority shareholders of the Château in 1949. In 1977 Pierre Ginestet decided to sell the property to André Mentzelopoulos. André invested heavily in the Château. In the vineyards, new drainage systems were installed and new vines were planted. Improvements were made in the cellar in conjunction with the oenologist Emile Peynaud who helped with the reintroduction of Pavillon Rouge. The success of the 1978 vintage was testament to the hard work and investment undertaken at the property and the high quality reputation of Château Margaux was rapidly re-established.
Following his untimely death in 1980, André’s daughter, Corinne, and widow Laura took over the running of the estate. Paul Pontallier was appointed Director and until his untimely passing in 2016, worked tirelessly to promote and ensure the smooth running of the property.
The majority of the vineyards are on deep gravel and gravely clay soils which are ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is planted on soils which have higher content of clay and limestone. Average yields are around 40 hectolitres per hectare. The grapes are strictly sorted in the vineyard by highly trained pickers. The wine is aged for between eighteen to twenty four months in new medium-toast barriques, the majority of which are made by the estate’s own cooper.
