Research & Development : Mini winemaking tests

Supervised by Blandine de Rouffignac, our R&D team shapes the future of Château Margaux.
For the past twenty years, the team has helped us to achieve our continuous improvement and innovation objectives and guarantee our standards of excellence. Because we cherish the identity of our wines and terroir, changes are only ever made after a raft of tests.

At harvest time, for example, our team does comparative “miniature wine-making” trials. These wines are bottled and will be blind tasted in the years ahead with the estate’s technical team.

It’s a way of reconciling tradition and modernity, as we’ve always done.
