CHATEAU MARGAUX
The origins of this growth can be traced back to the fifteenth century when it
was known as Lamothe. In those times the château was fortified and
belonged to the Seigneur Monferraud.
In 1802 the property was bought by the
Marquis de Colonilla who pulled down the old château and built the elegant
neo-classical mansion which is so familiar today, a building unique in style and
importance in the Medoc, and also a national monument in France.
The château's present owners are Madame Laura Mentzelopoulos and her daughters,
who have gathered an impressive team of wine makers at the château led by the
famous M Paul Pontallier.
The wines of Château Margaux have all those qualities
which are regarded as being particular to Margaux AC. in the most exalted degree
and perfect balance. The delicacy of the early years belies the longevity of
these wines which are consistent in their elegance and refinement.
