Ch\u00e2teau Margaux\u2019s history and renown stem equally from the intrinsic genius of the place as from the contributions made by the various people who have served it for five centuries. But there has probably not been an owner who has played such a decisive role, in such a short time, as Andr\u00e9 Mentzelopoulos, who purchased the Estate in 1977 and who would have been 100 years old today.<\/p>\n
It was the Marquis de la Colonilla who, 200 years ago, left his own mark on the Estate, in honour of the wine, through the construction of this great architectural heritage in a style inspired by ancient Greece; the architect Louis Combes had designed the Ch\u00e2teau\u2019s peristyle paying homage to the Parthenon. Andr\u00e9 Mentzelopoulos was filled with pride and happiness at the sight of these Ionic columns that reminded him of his native Greece. More than 160 years later he had the foresight to take the radical measures necessary, in barely three years, to give back to Ch\u00e2teau Margaux, the lustre that it had lost during the long Bordeaux wine crisis.<\/p>\n
Louis Combes and Norman Foster, two centuries apart, were both inspired by the genius of an age-old terroir, paying tribute to one of the world\u2019s greatest wines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"amenity":[1168,230,1167,803,802],"wine_style":[919,920,1532,1531],"experiences":[3465,2776,2649,2695,2831,2651,2798,2679,2680],"class_list":["post-4857","winery","type-winery","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","amenity-beautiful-architecture","amenity-great-views","amenity-historic","amenity-wine-tastings","amenity-wine-tours","wine_style-dry-red-wines","wine_style-dry-white-wines","wine_style-red-wines","wine_style-white-wines","grapes-cabernet-franc","grapes-cabernet-sauvignon","grapes-merlot","grapes-petit-verdot","grapes-sauvignon-blanc","destinations-bordeaux","destinations-france","regions-bordeaux","regions-france","experiences-beautiful-architecture","experiences-beautiful-views","experiences-couples-travel","experiences-food-drink","experiences-historical","experiences-luxury","experiences-vineyard-views","experiences-wine-tastings","experiences-wine-tours"],"acf":{"featured":false,"featured_order":"","content_title":"Margaux, Bordeaux, France","logo":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/chateau-margaux-logo.jpg","website_url":"http:\/\/www.chateau-margaux.com\/fr\/","established_year":"1700","head_wine_maker":"","hours_of_operation":"Monday to Friday","yelp_id":"","contact_name":"","phone_number":"+33 (0) 5 57 88 83 83","email_address":"","region":{"ID":392,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2017-10-26 19:15:46","post_date_gmt":"2017-10-26 19:15:46","post_content":"\n
Bordeaux is a giant \u2013 the<\/em> giant \u2013 of the fine wine world. It's home to many of the wine world\u2019s most famous producers: Petrus, Margaux<\/a>, Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild<\/a><\/strong> and Haut-Brion<\/strong><\/a> to name a just a few. The latter two were Thomas Jefferson favorites. The former American president toured the region and ordered bottles from the properties directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the size of Bordeaux\u2019s total production \u2013 greater than the whole country of South Africa\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 there\u2019s also a lot more to explore beyond the big names. And plenty of it is great value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bordeaux produces Red<\/strong><\/span>, White<\/strong><\/span> and Ros\u00e9<\/strong><\/span> wines, as well as Sweet<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and Sparkling<\/strong><\/span> styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of it \u2013 around 90% \u2013 is dry and red. Merlot<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is the most planted grape, but it\u2019s normally blended with Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, especially in the more prestigious estates of the Left Bank. Some producers also add small quantities of Cabernet Franc<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and Petit Verdot<\/strong><\/a>. Other red varieties such as Malbec<\/strong><\/a><\/span> are permitted but rarely used. The best examples are matured in new oak barrels and aren\u2019t bottled until around 18 months after harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A smaller, often overlooked quantity of dry white wine is also made. Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and Semillon<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are planted in roughly equal quantities, with a small amount of Muscadelle<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Entry level bottles are fresh, fruity and should be consumed while young. Some top producers use oak to make white wine that can be aged for many years. They often command higher prices than their red counterparts, likely owing to tiny production volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An even smaller volume of Ros\u00e9 Wine is produced in various parts of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RELATED:<\/strong> 30 Top Wineries and Vineyards in Bordeaux You Must Visit<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A small but significant amount of sweet white wine<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is produced, most famously in Sauternes<\/strong><\/a> and Barsac<\/strong>. Noble rot in autumn causes the grapes to shrivel on the vines and develop a complex flavor profile with characteristics like marmalade, honeysuckle and butterscotch. These are among the most expensive to produce, but waning interest in sweet wine has allowed prices to flat-line; good news for sweet-toothed drinkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cr\u00e9mant de Bordeaux<\/strong> is the name given to the region\u2019s White and Ros\u00e9 Sparkling Wines, made in the traditional method (the same method that is used in Champagne<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Left Bank - west of the Gironde river<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Medoc<\/strong>, north of the city of Bordeaux, contains four of the region\u2019s most important communes for red wine: St. Estephe, Pauillac, St. Julien<\/strong> and Margaux<\/strong>. These are home to the estates that were included in the region\u2019s famous 1855 Classification, which divided 58 of the most prestigious properties into five groups, from First to Fifth Growth, based on price. The classification is still used to this day, with only minor changes in over 150 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Graves region<\/strong> surrounds and stretches south of Bordeaux city. Its most prestigious estates are located in Pessac-Leognan<\/strong>, the most northern commune in Graves. This is where Chateau Haut-Brion can be found: the only estate outside of the Medoc that was classified in 1855 as a First Growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauternes<\/strong> and Barsac<\/strong>, the most important appellations for sweet wine production, are further south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entre-Deux-Mers \u2013 between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n This large area contains a number of appellations that produce wine of variable quality, at much more modest price points than its famous neighbors. Bottles from good producers in this region can offer excellent value, particularly from the best Bordeaux vintages. Recently, these include 2018, 2016 and 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The red wines are likely to contain a high proportion of Merlot and most are intended to be drunk within a few years of bottling. Plenty of good quality White, Ros\u00e9 and Cr\u00e9mant also comes from the Entre-Deux-Mers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Right Bank \u2013 East of the Gironde river<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Right Bank is home to several important appellations, most notably Pomerol<\/strong> and St. Emilion<\/strong>. Both areas are planted with a higher proportion of Merlot, which grows well in the predominantly clay-based soils, than within the Medoc communes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A number of famous Pomerol wines, such as Petrus, are made with 100% Merlot. These are generally made in much smaller quantities than the wines of the Left Bank, from more modest-looking estates; though they are able to command some of the highest prices in the whole of Bordeaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pretty town of St. Emilion is surrounded by vineyards which are part of the appellation of the same name. It\u2019s home to several important estates like Ausone and Angelus. Unusually for Bordeaux, some estates such as Cheval Blanc and Figeac use a high proportion of fragrant Cabernet Franc in their blends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interested in visiting Bordeaux soon?

Light and refreshing, it\u2019s unique in that its flavor sets it apart from most other white grape varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc is famously used as part of the blend for making the sweet dessert wine in Bordeaux, called Sauternes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IN THIS GUIDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the climate and terroir for Sauvignon Blanc grown throughout the world can have a huge impact on flavor, there are some general commonalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc tasting notes are most commonly associated with tropical, tree, and citrus fruit. Specifically, flavor nuances of dates, papaya, melon, and notes of herbs or dry underbrush are most present when the wine comes from a cooler climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If exposed to oak, you may notice bits of English pudding, custard, and vanilla. While it\u2019s probably most well known for being the preferred white wine grape variety in the Bordeaux region of France<\/a><\/strong> and the Loire Valley<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 New World wine-growing regions such as Napa Valley<\/strong><\/a>, Sonoma County<\/strong><\/a>, and Marlborough New Zealand<\/a><\/strong> are producing incredible Sauvignon Blanc as well. Classic fruit notes include melon, lemon-lime, white peach, grapefruit, orange, and papaya with notes of grass, geranium, green pepper, spice, and smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Often characterized by its lively acidity and vibrant flavors, Sauvignon Blanc is indeed considered a dry wine. That means it typically has little to no residual sugar, leaving your palate refreshed and craving more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you sip on a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, in addition to the tasting notes we mentioned above, you'll likely be greeted by flavors of citrus, gooseberry, and sometimes even grassy or herbal notes. It's these crisp, tantalizing characteristics that make Sauvignon Blanc a go-to choice for many when seeking a wine that pairs beautifully with light dishes, seafood, warm afternoons, and good company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of pairings...<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc variety pairs incredibly well with sushi. The light, crisply refreshing tropical fruits, and subtle herbs play well with fish crafted with similar toppings and sauces. Your fish doesn't need to be raw, though. We recently had a beautiful New World Sauvignon Blanc with crisp oysters drizzled with spicy aioli and mango-poblano pico. It's also worth sampling alongside lemon-butter scallops or steamed mussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When drinking a Sauvignon Blanc that's been aged in oak, try something a bit heavier to accent the vanilla creme and toasted flavors. Grilled chicken with grilled veggies, chicken Francaise, or lemon-lime cilantro cream mahi-mahi (or swordfish) will pair nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Serving and storing Sauvignon Blanc wines the right way can greatly enhance your tasting experience, ensuring that you fully appreciate the vibrant flavors and aromas of this delightful white wine. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your Sauvignon Blanc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal serving temperature for Sauvignon Blanc is between 45\u00b0F and 50\u00b0F (7\u00b0C and 10\u00b0C). Chilling the wine at this temperature range accentuates its refreshing acidity and crisp flavors. To achieve the perfect temperature, you can refrigerate the bottle for about 2 hours before serving or use a wine cooler to maintain the desired temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sauvignon Blanc is best enjoyed in a white wine glass<\/strong><\/a> with a narrow bowl and slightly tapered top. This shape helps concentrate the wine's delicate aromas and directs the wine to the appropriate areas of the palate, ensuring that you can fully appreciate its lively flavors and refreshing acidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To maintain the quality and freshness of your Sauvignon Blanc, it's important to store the wine properly. Keep the bottles in a cool, dark place, such as a wine cellar or a temperature-controlled wine refrigerator. The ideal storage temperature for most white wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, is around 45\u00b0F to 55\u00b0F (7\u00b0C to 13\u00b0C). It's also crucial to store the wine away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light, as prolonged exposure can damage the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n When storing Sauvignon Blanc or any wine with a natural cork, it's essential to store the bottles horizontally. This keeps the cork moist and prevents it from drying out, which could lead to oxidation and spoilage of the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This grape variety can grow in both cool and warm climates within a variety of soil compositions. That makes it a bit complex. For instance, in New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc is drastically affected by the type of soil it\u2019s grown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThicker,\u201d more dense soil compositions tend to bring out more earth and herbal flavors, while \u201cthinner,\u201d more aerated soils tend to produce less herbaceous and more tropical Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compound these soil variations with different climates and this grape variety gets even more intricate. Cooler climates also bring out more earth, herb, and citrus, while warmer climates bring out more tropical and tree fruit flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Excessive warmth during the growing season can force these late budding, early ripening grapes to over-ripen. Over-ripe Sauvignon Blanc will lack aromatics, acid, and depth of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Most Sauvignon Blancs are meant to be enjoyed soon after release but a variety of factors can contribute to age-worthiness. Sauternes, the Sauvignon Blanc blend from Bordeaux, can age for decades due to the high sugar and acidity levels. Some Bordeaux Blancs are also age-worthy, though they are also blends. Oak-aged Sauvignon Blancs like the one produced by Merry Edwards can also age for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainability and organic practices have gained significant importance in the wine industry, and Sauvignon Blanc production has been embracing these values as well. Environmentally conscious consumers can find wineries that prioritize eco-friendly methods and organic farming, aiming to minimize their impact on the environment while producing high-quality wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organic vineyards, for instance, avoid synthetic chemical inputs like pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. They rely on natural alternatives such as compost, cover crops, and biodynamic preparations to maintain soil health and fertility. These practices help promote biodiversity, protect beneficial insects, and encourage a balanced ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Integrated pest management is another approach adopted by some wineries. This method focuses on monitoring and managing pests using a combination of biological, cultural, and chemical practices. By minimizing the use of chemical treatments, these vineyards can reduce their environmental footprint and protect the surrounding ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water conservation is a crucial aspect of sustainable wine production. Wineries may implement techniques such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and the use of drought-tolerant cover crops to optimize water usage and reduce waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources are becoming more prevalent in wine production. Solar panels, wind turbines, and energy-efficient equipment help wineries reduce their carbon emissions and reliance on non-renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainable packaging and waste management practices are gaining traction among wineries making Sauvignon Blanc as well. Lightweight bottles, recycled materials, and eco-friendly packaging solutions minimize waste and lower the environmental impact of wine production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who enjoy the crisp and refreshing flavors of Sauvignon Blanc, there are several other white grape varieties that offer similar characteristics and delightful tasting experiences. Here are a few suggestions for wine lovers looking to explore wines akin to Sauvignon Blanc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, particularly in Bordeaux, Semillon shares some similar flavor profiles. Semillon wines tend to be slightly more rounded and may exhibit flavors of lemon, green apple, and sometimes honey or lanolin, depending on the wine's age and region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Originating from Spain, particularly the Rueda region, Verdejo wines are known for their fresh and zesty character. These wines typically feature notes of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruits, along with a subtle herbaceous quality that can be reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hailing from the Galicia region in northwest Spain, Albari\u00f1o wines are celebrated for their high acidity and refreshing nature. They often display flavors of citrus, green apple, and stone fruits, complemented by a distinctive saline minerality that adds complexity and depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n This Austrian grape variety produces wines with bright acidity and a similar herbaceous quality to Sauvignon Blanc. Gruner Veltliner wines often present flavors of green apple, citrus, and white pepper, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a zesty and intriguing white wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Primarily grown in Italy, particularly in Sardinia and Tuscany, Vermentino wines are known for their crisp, refreshing character. These wines typically exhibit flavors of citrus, green apple, and pear, along with a pleasant minerality and sometimes a slightly bitter almond finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Written By Jamie Metzgar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamie Elizabeth Metzgar began her career in wine by pouring in a tasting room on the East End of Long Island, NY. After moving to New York City, she landed a position at Chambers Street Wines where she was encouraged to pursue wine education at the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET).

It's bright in personality, and soft in its embrace.\u201d \u2013 Ashlee McRae<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where Cabernet Sauvignon leans towards tobacco, Cabernet Franc leads more towards earthiness and slate. Classic fruit notes are raspberry, black cherry, black currant, and mulberry. Secondary notes are typically violet, graphite, and green vegetables like bell pepper. Cabernet Francs from the Loire Valley often have a distinctive dustiness to them. Cabernet Franc benefits from high acid and tannins, both of which allow it to evolve beautifully in the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Cabernet Franc likely originated in Basque country<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 where Northern Spain and Southwestern France<\/a><\/strong> meet along the coast of the Bay of Biscay. It settled in the romantic Bordeaux region<\/a><\/strong> of France in the 17th century, where it met its perfect match, Sauvignon Blanc<\/a><\/strong>.
