The estate

With origins dating back to the XIIth century, the Château Margaux is part of those Grands Crus that have built the legend of the great wines of Bordeaux around the world. The château will be awarded in 1855 the title of Premier Grand Cru Classé and will be the only one of the four châteaux presented to have obtained the score of twenty out of twenty. With the acquisition in 1977 of the estate by André Mentzelopoulos, Château Margaux writes a new page of its history. Raising to the highest level the Grand Vin of Château Margaux, he will reintroduce the Second Wine of the château, the Pavillon Rouge of Château Margaux, initiated in 1908. Following in the footsteps of her father due to his premature death, Corinne Mentzelopoulos will take up the family banner with energy and passion to maintain the rank of Château Margaux, which has become a Bordeaux masterpiece, so recognizable by its neo-Palladian style. Vintage after vintage, the wines of the estate are among the greatest wines in the world.

The wine

Produced in Dry White Bordeaux, the Pavillon Blanc of Château Margaux is the successor of the "Château Margaux sauvignon white wine" elaborated since the XVIIIth century.

The vineyard of Château Margaux owes its particularity to its rare and unique terroir, located on a gravel mound. For the Pavillon Blanc 2023 cuvée, about 10 hectares are planted with sauvignon blanc. The vineyard is located on a very old plot of the estate.
