2022 Chateau Larruau

A story of patient reconstruction and a Margaux estate on the rise. Château Larruau was born from the historic Château Dubignon Talbot, a 3rd Growth recognized in the 1855 Classification before being divided and dispersed over the generations. In the 1970s, Bernard Château undertook the formidable task of rebuilding the estate around what remained of his family’s vineyard, ultimately assembling twelve hectares of exceptional terroir in the heart of Margaux. In 2019, he entrusted management to his close friend Miguel Martinho, a respected wine entrepreneur, who brings precision and organic farming principles to every parcel. The vineyard sits among the appellation’s greatest names — with a significant portion bordering Château Margaux itself — drawing complexity from the diverse gravel, silt, clay, and limestone soils that define the Margalais terroir. A rising star quietly joining the ranks of Margaux’s elite, and a beautiful expression of one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious appellations.
