Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Margaux

The "La Mothe de Margaux" (the Margaux hill) estate has been known since the 12th century. However, vines were not planted until 1572 by the Lestonnac family, who established the winery as we know it today. In the Bordeaux classification of 1855, the estate was ranked among the elite of the five best "Premier Grand Cru Classé". It is also known as the "crown jewel of the Médoc" and its wine is considered a prime example of elegance and finesse. The vineyards of gravel and stone on a clay subsoil comprise 93 hectares of vines, 81 hectares of which are planted with red varieties and 12 hectares with white varieties.
