Why we follow Château Margaux
The estate
The First Growth of the Margaux appellation, and for many the most beautiful estate in all Bordeaux, its neo-classical château as famous as its wine. Owned by the Mentzelopoulos family, it is a byword for fragrance and elegance.
The vineyards
Around 100 hectares on fine, deep gravel, Cabernet Sauvignon led with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. A small parcel of Sauvignon Blanc produces the rare white, Pavillon Blanc.

In the glass
Margaux is all perfume and silk: violets, redcurrant, cedar and a floral lift, with tannins of extraordinary fineness. Elegant in youth, profound with age.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
