Chateau Haut-Breton Larigaudiere

While Margaux is synonymous with gravel, the appellation is not limited to this type of soil and has impressively diverse terroirs. The vineyards are located in Arsac (3.5 hectares in 13 plots) and Soussans (11.5 hectares with 20 plots in 3 groups), offering a wide range of terroirs across the Margaux appellation. Deep sandy-gravel soils in Arsac produce ethereal wines, while clay-gravel soils in Grand Soussans give wines a fine tannic structure. Therefore they adapt the planting methods in each plot to suit its intrinsic characteristics. 

Cabernet Sauvignon remains the predominant grape variety, occupying 65 to 70% of the area under vine, with a relatively small percentage of Merlot for this appellation. They aim to harness the full potential of the Médoc, in terms of geographical location, low-lying topography, geological characteristics, and climate. The vineyards are also planted with Petit Verdot (5%), adding complexity to the final blend.
