Margaux

Margaux is a village in the Haut Médoc wine making region on the left bank of the Garonne estuary, north west of the city of Bordeaux.

It is the name of the wine appellation d'origine, that includes the village and the neighbouring villages of Arsac, Labarde, Soussans and Cantenac, and is the most southerly of Médoc's appellations. The commune makes almost entirely red wine.

The 1855 classification contained more wines from Margaux than from any other appellation, and its best-known vineyard, Château Margaux, was one of only four wines to be awarded the Premier Cru status.
