瑪歌堡是美多克一級酒莊位處最南方的一個，且以地處的地名命名，60-70年代世界經濟蕭條，當時瑪歌堡的莊主也因為財力缺缺，無法好好整頓莊園，酒質已走下坡，直到1977年此莊園賣給了Andre Mentzelopoulos先生，他不惜花下大筆的金錢整頓，並聘請波爾多釀酒大師Emile Peynaud培諾當顧問，次年1978年起瑪歌堡死灰復燃，重回應有的本色，達到一級酒莊的水準。
瑪歌酒以圓潤著稱，是女性朋友的最愛，酒色不像波亞克區這般地深遂，但仍是款濃郁有深度的佳釀。裝瓶前的瑪歌先得經過18-24個月在100%新橡木桶中的醇化期，成熟後的她散發出多層次的黑醋栗果香、香料香、香草香以及橡木香。瑪歌堡的單寧柔滑不澀口，她就像一位溫柔、細緻又高雅的淑女，正待有心人仕的珍愛。
WA:96 Drink :2003 - 2020
As I have noted consistently, this can be a breathtaking wine, but having tasted it close to a dozen times since the last edition of this book, over half the bottles were marred by tainted corks. In fact, one would almost wonder if there was TCA problem in part of the wine storage area. The percentage of corked half-bottles is even higher than in the regular format. However, when clean this 1983, which has seemingly reached full maturity far faster than I would have guessed a mere four years ago, has a dense, murky plum/purple color and a gorgeous nose of smoked herbs, damp earth, mushrooms, and sweet creme de cassis intermixed with vanilla and violets The wine is medium to full-bodied, deep, rich, and powerful, with sweet tannins and loads of fruit concentration. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020. Last tasted, 11/02.
