ChaÌ‚teau du Cartillon is located on the itinerary which follows the MeÌdoc ChaÌ‚teaux in the Bordeaux area, in the village of Lamarque, halfway between the Margaux and Saint
- Julien vineyards. In the heart of the Haut
- MeÌdoc appellation, the 69 hectares property adjoins three prestigious representatives of the Moulis appellation : the ChaÌ‚teaux of Poujeaux, Maucaillou and Chasse Spleen. The quality of the soil, which has long been recognised as such, gave the ChaÌ‚teau du Cartillon a reputation as early as the 19th century.
