Château Desmirail
Margaux
Château Desmirail, included among the third growths in the 1855 classification, has an outstanding terroir bordering on the famous Route des Châteaux.
A STORY
In few words
The elegant XVIII century chartreuse house is nestled behind a majestic gate made of pink marble. The cellar features a vat room typical of those from the late XIX century Médoc.
In this setting steeped in history, visitors can admire the magnificent roof structure and new wooden vats first used in the 2010 vintage. Jean-Baptiste Desmirail gave his name to the château after marrying an heiress from the Rausan family in 1741.
Denis Lurton, current successor to Jean-Baptiste Desmirail, took over from his father, Lucien, in 1992. He has invested in modernising the estate on a regular basis ever since. Château Desmirail produces smooth, elegant wines in the classic Margaux style.
