Château
Château Margaux
A first growth of 1855 and the only first growth of the Margaux appellation, whose heart it occupies in the commune of Margaux, the château is also the Médoc's neo-Palladian monument, built around 1810. Its wines are the type of the Margaux style: floral perfume, fine tannins and great length rather than frontal power.
