MARGAUX
The Commune of Margaux possesses eleven classed growths yet none are as celebrated as its only premier cru, Château Margaux. For generation upon generation it has been synonymous with fine claret and is the only one in its classification where the château name and commune are the same. The wine of Château Margaux has graced the presence of Christie's catalogues from the very beginning. On February 8, 1788 Ch Margeau (sic) became the first mention of any Bordeaux vineyard by name in a Christie's catalogue. With Mr. James Christie himself at the podium selling the wines of the French Ambassador, Count d'Adhemar, at Hyde Park Corner (15 dozen, achieving 49 shillings per dozen). Nearly two hundred years later Château Margaux retains this enviable position in the sale room.
