Over the generations, over the centuries, the skill of some, the innovations of others, gradually make Château Margaux wine a wine of excellence; we only have to remember the progress made thanks to the manager Berlon at the very beginning of the 18th century. In 1705, the London Gazette announced the first auction of Bordeaux grands crus: 230 barrels of “Margose”! The 1771 vintage is the first “claret” to appear in a Christie’s catalog. Bertrand Douat, Marquis de la Colonilla, acquired the estate and judged that the existing manor was not worthy of the reputation of his vineyard. He had the residence that we see today built in his place.The Colonilla children were not interested in the estate and sold it to Alexandre Aguado. Alexandre Aguado is the first banker to acquire a large Bordeaux château. His fortune is already immense and Château Margaux does not represent a way for him to increase it but rather an elegant and pleasant property to live in.The history and reputation of Château Margaux are as much due to the genius of the place as to the contribution of the men and women who have served it for five centuries.
