A brief history of Château Margaux
The region called Margaux was named “La Mothe de Margaux” (the Margaux mound) from the XII century.
The old name didn’t happen by chance.
In a flat region like the Médoc, the slightest “mound” easily stood out.
This is because the greatest wines always emerge from sloping land that ensures good drainage.
In 1152, England advanced into Aquitaine and continued until 1453.
Thus Bordeaux wines benefited from this new market.
In the ten years from 1572 to 1582, Pierre de Lestonnac completely restructured the property.
At the end of the XVII century, Château Margaux occupied 265 hectares.
A third of the estate planted vines, which remains the case today.
Then in 1705, the London Gazette advertised the first auction of 230 barrels of “Margose”.
Later, the 1771 vintage became the first “claret” to appear in a Christie’s catalogue.
In 1896, Count Pillet-Will, Margaux’s owner, employed Pierre Moreau to manage the property.
Subsequently, Pierre Moreau’s most important innovation involved bottling the wine at the château, which he adopted in 1924.
This guaranteed authenticity for the buyers.
In 1950, the Ginestet family acquired the whole property.
In 1977, André Mentzelopoulos bought the property.
The Mentzelopoulos family continues to own Margaux.
1924 wine gift – Château Margaux 1924
The 1924 Château Margaux is a fine and elegant vintage that has aged remarkably well.
It was with this vintage that the First Growths decided for the first time to bottle their whole production at the Château.
The poor vintages and economic whirlwind of the 1930s in the end forced them to reverse this decision until better days.
The 1924 Bordeaux vintage was a bumper harvest that produced wines with a great capacity for ageing.
A fine September rescued the vintage after a tricky spring and summer, providing the necessary sunshine for excellent wines.
The aroma of Château Margaux 1924 is intense, fresh, refined, and opulent, with notes of blackcurrants, cedar, dark chocolate, and spices.
On the palate, it is well-structured, balanced, and medium-bodied with a good texture, exhibiting flavours of mature red fruits and delicate spice, with vibrant acidity and a lingering finish.
Finally, the award-winning Arden Fine Wines in London offers this 1924 wine gift – Château Margaux 1924.
