Description
2019 is one of the exceptional vintages of Château Margaux. The wines are characterised by supple tannins and a great freshness of aromas that almost make you forget the exceptional concentration of the wine. Easy to drink young, this vintage nevertheless has great potential for ageing. To mark the occasion, Château Margaux is launching a special limited edition box with its three wines. This mixed box consists of three bottles of Château Margaux, two bottles of Pavillon Rouge and one bottle of Pavillon Blanc, offering a complete tasting of the 2019 vintage. This unique collection, called 'La trilogie 2019', is a limited series of only a thousand boxes. A new embossing technique has been used for the top of the case, adding an elegant gold relief to the Château Margaux logo, underlined by the name of this case in italics. With this 2019 trilogy, Château Margaux presents an exceptional vintage, a true reflection of our pursuit of excellence.
2019 Château Margaux (100RP)
The Château Margaux 2019 is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, representing 37% of the vintage. The alcohol was 13.9%, the IPT was 75 and the pH was 3.66. Deep garnet purple in colour, the nose opens with intense scents of crushed blackberries, warm cassis and preserved plums before expanding into a host of floral, exotic spice and earthy scents: iris, red roses, star anise, cassis, tilled soil, moss-covered bark and black truffles, with a rising wave of broken rock. The medium-bodied palate vibrates with energy and radiates plenty of mineral sparks, with bold freshness and fantastically ripe, fine-grained tannins to support the delicate, perfumed layers, with a very long and wonderful finish.
2019 Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge (95RP)
The Pavillon Rouge 2019 is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, representing 47% of the vintage. Its alcohol was 14.2%, its IPT was 75 and its pH was 3.66. Deep garnet in colour, it begins a little closed and brooding, but soon unfolds to offer notes of tar, black liquorice, cracked peppercorn and wood smoke over a core of Morello cherries, boysenberries and warm cassis, plus an earthy hint of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, refreshing and delightfully refined, with beautifully ripe, soft tannins and an impressive freshness that lifts the black fruit and earthy layers with a long finish.
2019 Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc (94RP)
The Pavillon Blanc 2019 is, as always, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The nose opens with delicate scents of Bosc pears, white peaches and fresh Golden Delicious apples with hints of almonds, lemongrass and chalk dust, plus a touch of jasmine. The light to medium-bodied palate has a fresh backbone to support the numerous layers of citrus and stone fruit, and finishes long and minerally.

Château Margaux is one of those names in the wine world that instantly sparks the imagination. A stately château, centuries of history, and wines that rank among the very best of Bordeaux.
History of Château Margaux
The roots of Château Margaux go back to the Middle Ages, when the estate was still known as Lamothe. In the 16th century, the Lestonnac family began transforming the land into a vineyard with serious ambition. Over the centuries, ownership changed hands many times, but the reputation steadily grew. In the early 19th century, the Marquis de la Colonilla built the current château, a refined neo-Palladian building that still dominates the skyline of Margaux today.
In 1855, Château Margaux was classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé, the highest ranking in the famous Bordeaux classification. Yet the estate also faced harder times. In the 1970s its reputation began to fade, until Greek businessman André Mentzelopoulos revived it. Since then, Château Margaux has remained tied to his family and is now run by his daughter Corinne and her children.
Location and terroir of Château Margaux
The estate lies in the Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde, within the Margaux AOC. This appellation is known for elegant and refined red wines. The soil at Château Margaux is distinctive: deep layers of gravel with touches of clay and limestone. The gravel provides excellent drainage, forcing the vines to root deeply. This results in grapes with great concentration and tension, the foundation of the estate’s renowned wines.
Grape varieties of Château Margaux
As is typical in the Médoc, Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead. Around three-quarters of the vineyards are planted with it. Merlot makes up about twenty percent, with smaller plots of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. This blend gives the wines both power and finesse. For whites there’s a rare exception: Pavillon Blanc, made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, grown on a smaller plot next to the red vineyards.
Château Margaux wine styles
The most famous wine is of course the Grand Vin de Château Margaux. Then there is Pavillon Rouge, the second wine often made from younger vines or parcels that don’t make it into the first selection. More recently, a third label has been added: Margaux du Château Margaux. For white wine lovers there is Pavillon Blanc, praised for its freshness and long ageing potential.
Winemaking combines tradition and modern technique. The red wines age for about one and a half to two years in new French oak, giving them depth and complexity. The white wine is aged for a shorter time, preserving its lively character. A special detail: Château Margaux even has its own cooperage, giving them full control over the quality of their barrels.
Interesting facts
- Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, praised Château Margaux in the 18th century as one of the finest wines of Bordeaux.
- The château itself is a listed historical monument and is often described as one of the most beautiful wine estates in France.
- In 2015, a new tasting and research building was unveiled, designed by British architect Norman Foster, blending tradition and innovation.
