Margaux

Margaux wine is built on Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape across the Left Bank, and the leading First Growth estates within this appellation tend approximately 80 ha of red wine vines within this celebrated Médoc appellation. If classification pedigree matters to your buying decision, Margaux deserves a close look.

Why choose Margaux wine?

No other Médoc appellation puts more estates inside the 1855 classification — over 20 properties in total — making Margaux the single richest hunting ground for classified Bordeaux. At the top sits a First Growth estate, with a premium second wine offering an entry point into that cellar's Cabernet Sauvignon-led style at a lower price. Step down and the depth keeps coming: five Second Growth properties, three Third Growth estates, four Fourth Growth benchmarks, and two Fifth Growth producers representing some of the region's finest quality-focused growers. Across all four major Haut-Médoc communal appellations, expect premium to super-premium pricing — this is a tier where you are buying genuine classification standing, not a label. Pair with a rib of beef or a classic cheese board for a special dinner. If you want the deepest bench of 1855 classified estates in one appellation, our Margaux selection starts here →

How does Margaux wine taste compared to neighbouring appellations like Pauillac or St-Estèphe?

Margaux wines share the deep ruby colour and structure of northern Médoc appellations such as St-Julien, Pauillac, and St-Estèphe, but offer a haunting perfume and noticeably silkier texture.
