Chateau Margaux
The most famous estate of Médoc is also one of the most imposing. However, it disproves the old saying that familiarity breeds contempt. Here, the opposite is true: the closer one approaches, the more reverence one feels. The further one walks down the sun-drenched avenue of ancient plane trees, the closer one gets to this temple of great wine, this magnificent stage of oenology, the stronger the charm emanating from it. "The privilege of the great," wrote Jean Giraudoux, "is to watch catastrophes from the safe distance of a terrace." The privilege of guests at Château Margaux is to admire the most famous vineyard from behind the tall windows of a truly royal residence. The person who reigns over this astonishing splendor is a young woman, as noble as the furnishings here and equally lacking unnecessary embellishments, which suits her perfectly. Corinne Mentzelopoulos is undoubtedly a worthy heiress of a prominent merchant from Patras, Greece, who, after amassing a vast fortune, had the idea to purchase this French wine icon. The total area of the Château Margaux estate is 262 hectares.
