The birth of what we know of as Chateau Margaux dates back almost 1,000 years! In the 12th century, the property was known under the name of “La Mothe de Margaux,” which was reserved for use by royalty. However, vineyards were not yet part of the estate in those days. Pierre Moreau introduced bottling the wines of Chateau Margaux at the Left Bank property starting in 1924 as a guarantee of authenticity for buyers. The estate was sold in part to the Ginestet family in 1934. The depression caused the chateau to stop estate bottling until 1949. The Ginestet family who were extremely successful negociants purchased the remaining shares in Chateau Margaux in 1949.
