The 2015 harvest and the last vintage of Paul Pontallier

The red harvest ran from 18 September to 6 October 2015. It was the last vintage overseen by Paul Pontallier, who was managing director from 1989 to 2015.

The Norman Foster-designed facilities were inaugurated at the estate in 2015, the bicentenary of the estate buildings.

Margaux and its only First Growth

Château Margaux was classified Premier Cru (First Growth) in 1855 and is the only First Growth in the Margaux appellation, which holds 21 of the 61 classified growths. The appellation lies in the Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, in Bordeaux. It covers still red wine only, and Cabernet Sauvignon fills close to 60% of its vineyard area.
