Margaux is the only appellation in Bordeaux to take
its name from the finest estate. The Chateau Margaux produces some
of the finest reds in Bordeaux and is the only estate in the region
to have a premier grand cru status. Four other villages produce reds
in the Margaux appellation and those are Arsac, Cantenac, Labarde
and Soussans.
Chateau Margaux and other estates acquire grapes
from several communes but has been utilizing winemaking techniques
to increase the quality. Chateau Palmer and Chateau Rauzan-Segla have
also seen a rise in quality in reference to the winemaking procedures.
