Considered the top of its class since 1855, Margaux has captured the hearts and dollars of wine collectors for centuries.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut fame didn’t exactly come easy. This storied estate bounced back from the French Revolution, the Great French Wine Blight, and the Bordeaux market crash of the 1970s. Today, Margaux produces four wines: Château Margaux; Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux; Pavillon Blanc; and Margaux du Château Margaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMargaux Trivia\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chateaux Margaux is owned by one of France's wealthiest women. After the Bordeaux market crash in the 1970s, a Greek businessman named André Mentzelopoulos bought Château Margaux for just 72 million francs (about $17 million at the time). He was succeeded by his daughter Corinne Mentzelopoulos in 1980. She turned Château Margaux into a $1 billion business. With just 81 full-time employees as of May 2018, Margaux is one of the smallest billion-dollar companies in the world. The estate will be succeeded by Corinne’s daughter, Alexandra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoster is in excellent condition and ready to frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cform method=\"post\" action=\"http:\/\/www.michelbouvet.com\/en\/biographie\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"L'affichiste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20693918679094,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/7532\/products\/fullsizeoutput_1532.jpeg?v=1571438490","url":"https:\/\/www.laffichiste.com\/products\/1988-french-wine-poster-chateau-margaux","provider":"L'Affichiste","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
