One of the stellar regions of the Haut-Médoc, Margaux boasts a host of blue-chip châteaux, dominated by the eponymous First Growth: Château Margaux.

Margaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. Located 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the city of Bordeaux, the appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed red wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, which can show excellent structure and longevity.
