The Appellation – The Allure of Margaux

Among Bordeaux’s many illustrious wine regions, Margaux stands apart for its grace, aromatic complexity, and sheer sensuality. Located at the southern tip of the Médoc, Margaux is home to some of the world’s most iconic châteaux—including the legendary Château Margaux wine, one of Bordeaux’s five First Growths.

What makes margaux wine unique?

• Gravelly, well-drained soils that allow vines to dig deep, producing elegant wines with lifted aromatics

• A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, often accented with Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot

• A classic profile of floral notes, polished tannins, and a silky, medium-bodied style

Château Mongravey embraces this legacy while adding its own modern precision—producing wines that are classic in structure, but vibrant and fresh in their expression.
