Not really Margaux even if it is a neighbour, not really Haut-Médoc as it is situated in the extreme south of the Médoc on the outskirts of Bordeaux, La Lagune is a special vintage in the 1855 classification, marvellously combining finesse and sweet smoothness.

Totally surrounded by classified growths, La Gurgue enjoys a privileged terroir, and the attentive care of Mrs Villars (also owner of Ferrière, classified growth of Margaux, and Haut-Bages-Libéral, classified growth of Pauillac), distinguished in the Top 25 of the best producers of the Bettane&Desseauve 2020 guide. Certainly the best quality/price/pleasure ratio in the appellation.

A 4 ha Petit Cru Bourgeois, between Giscours, Monbrison and d'Angludet. Although in the process of being converted to organic farming (since 2010) and producing only just over 1000 cases per year, Mille-Roses remains one of the cheapest wines in the Margaux appellation.

Laurence Alias, an agronomy engineer, to look after the vines (biodynamic) and Pascale Choime, an oenologist, to take care of the vinifications also have half a hectare in Margaux, pampered like a vegetable garden. It gathers 6 Bordeaux grape varieties (with petit-verdot, carménère and malbec), some of which are more than a hundred years old. Grown biodynamically, nothing else in the cellar but grapes and a little sulphur, matured in 400-litre barrels, everything is done to stay as close as possible to the most delicate and crunchy fruit. A real gem like the Bordeaux vineyard knows how to conceal it.

Straddling the Margaux and Haut-Médoc appellations, Clos du Jaugueyron is a mini estate (8 ha in total) in the south of the Médoc, run as a vegetable garden by a young couple, Mr and Mrs Théron. With attention to the smallest detail, they produce real Margaux, as dense and spicy as it is slender. Cited as "a safe address" by M. Bettane, and among the "hidden nuggets of the Médoc" by the Revue du Vin de France.

The "Nout" cuvée, which is more quickly available, is mainly Merlot (55%).

The Grand Vin gives pride of place to Cabernet Sauvignon (65%).

The smallest classified growth of Margaux (8 ha), Ferrière is a traditional, straightforward and pleasant Margaux, moderately powerful but perfectly balanced. Its ageing capacity is undeniable. Same owner as Haut-Bages-Libéral. In organic conversion since the 2012 vintage, certified organic from the 2015 vintage, and now in the list of the 25 best French producers for the Bettane&Desseauve 2020 guide. Bravo !
