Vinification
The red grapes were harvested from 18 September to 6 October. The small berries with their thicker skins indicated a very high concentration of tannins. The warm, dry conditions, combined with cool nights in September, resulted in a fine balance between richness, freshness and tannins. The 2015 climate shows strong similarities to that of great vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010.

About Ch. Margaux
Château Margaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine estates, located in the Médoc. The estate covers 265 hectares and was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Following a difficult period in the 1970s, the estate was acquired in 1977 by André Mentzelopoulos, who invested heavily in the vineyards and the quality of the wine. After his death in 1980, his daughter Corinne Mentzelopoulos took over the estate and continued his vision. In the early 1990s, she entered into a partnership with the Agnelli family. In 2003, she bought back their share and once again became the sole owner. Under her leadership, Château Margaux grew into one of the absolute benchmarks of the great wines of Bordeaux.
