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.

Bien que le 1978 soit plus puissant et plus corsé, [il semble] moins charmeur et moins fruité que son cadet. Le nez de ce 1978, autrefois fruité, est désormais marqué par le chêne épicé, la truffe, le goudron et la terre. (...) Ce vin riche, corsé et concentré n'est surpassé que par les très grands millésimes. Ce Margaux demeure l'une des grandes réussites du millésime
A perfect complement to lamb, veal, poultry and delicate game.
