Margaux AOC
Margaux is a wine growing commune and Appellation d'origine contrôlée within Haut-Médoc in Bordeaux, centred on the village of Margaux. Its leading (''premier cru'') château is also called Margaux. It contains 21 cru classé châteaux, more than any other commune in Bordeaux.〔Rowe, p203; for number of cru classé châteaux, see Clarke, p48〕
==Geography==
As well as Margaux itself, the ''appellation'' includes the villages of Cantenac, Arsac, Soussans and Labarde.〔Clarke, 45〕 It is on the left bank of the Gironde. It is the southernmost ''appellation'' in the Médoc (the ''haut'' in ''Haut-Médoc'' refers to the fact that it lies upstream), not far north of Bordeaux itself.〔Johnson, p80〕 To the east is the Landes forest. The soil is the thinnest in the ''Médoc'', with the highest proportion of gravel.〔Johnson, p94〕 (The generally received opinion being that poor soil makes good wine.〔Johnson, p83〕) The gravel provides good drainage.〔Clarke, p45〕 The forest to the west shelters the vines from Atlantic breezes.〔Johnson, p82〕 Margaux contains 1413 hectares of vineyards, making it the second largest ''appellation'' in the ''Haut-Médoc'' (after Saint-Estèphe).〔Clarke, p45〕 The châteaux are concentrated in the village, and the vineyards are more intermingled than elsewhere.〔Johnson, p94〕 The vines ripen 7–10 days before the rest of the ''Médoc''.〔Clarke, p45〕
