Originally
the château of one of the premier wine-producing families of France,
Relais de Margaux blends a prestigious past with all the modern facilities
of a top class hotel. In the intimacy of a 19th-century château, the rooms
are prettily furnished in traditional French and British style, at the
same time preserving all the elegance and sophistication of a nation that
knows all about 'the art of living'. Between the mighty River Gironde and
the Atlantic are the rolling fertile vineyards of the Médoc where wine is
king. Out of respect for it, comes gastronomic excellence, a doctrine to
which Relais de Margaux enthusiastically subscribes. The master chef has a
repertoire of the highest calibre using home-grown produce and local
specialities such as crab, langoustine and eels. You expect the wine list
to be exceptional - and it is - and you can wrestle with your choice in
the restaurant set, as if in veneration, amongst the wine racks of the
ancient cellars. |
