CHATEAU
Chateau Margaux was founded in the 1400's. Once the residence of Edward III, King of England, it was one of the most stately fortified chateaux in Guyenne. Over the centuries, the property changed ownership several times. In 1804, the Marquis of La Colonilla acquired the property, razed the old Gothic manor-house and built in its place the chateau which still stands today.

The 1984 Margaux is one of the best wines of the vintage. It is rich in color and extract, and has an attractive perfume of violets, black currant fruit, toasty oak, herbs, and licorice
