The Estate and the Vineyard

This Margaux, produced in the commune of Arsac by Mr. Philippe Porcheron, is situated on a 4-hectare terroir of deep gravel, amidst Château Le Tertre and Monbrison.

In 2001, Philippe Porcheron established Château Marojallia, with the expert advice of Muriel Andraud and Jean-Luc Thunevin, aiming to create an exceptional Margaux from a small micro-terroir of 5.8 hectares, initiated in 1999. Subsequently, he expanded his estate by acquiring the Pavillon de Margaux, a hotel located in close proximity to Château Marojallia. In addition to its renowned Margaux, the estate also offers two other high-quality wines, Benjamin de Marojallia and Clos Margalaine.

At the beginning of 2023, the Philippe Porcheron Estates, including Château Marojallia, Pavillon de Margaux, and Château Bouqueyran, were acquired by Château Marquis de Terme, owned by the Sénéclauze family. However, brands such as Château Marojallia, Benjamin de Marojallia, and others associated with wines produced in the estates sold to Marquis de Terme will remain the property of Philippe Porcheron.

Clos Margalaine is the second wine of Château Marojallia, vinified in small quantities, in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and aged in new French oak barrels.
