Château Margaux
The vineyard of Château Margaux stands as the producer of one of the world's greatest and most sought-after red wines. One of only five wines to achieve First Growthstatus in the oft-cited 1855 Bordeaux Classification, its very expensive vintages command a consistently high premium and are stored and traded over periods of many decades.
As is predominantly the case in Médoc, the majority of the vines are Cabernet Sauvignon, with its vines covering 75 percent of the vineyards. Next comes Merlot at 20 percent, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot making up the rest. Around 30,000 cases are made annually, with production divided between the famous Premier Cru and the additional 'Pavillon Rouge'. A small amount of Sauvignon Blanc is also grown to make the 'Pavillon Blanc' wine. - Wikipedia®
