The soil and minerals of the Margaux appellation that have rolled down from the mountains
over centuries and been deposited by the river consist of a variety of types of gravel and
sand. Sand is a “poor” soil in which vines thrive as it means they must develop deep roots to
find sources of water. Situated at the highest point in Margaux, Chantelune boasts a unique
parcel of terroir (soil + microclimate) that makes it shine.

The property takes its name from former owner Mr Soubrane,a woodsman and carpenter who always used to fellhis trees during the full moon. He said this gave the best quality of wood. When he changed direction and decided
to plant a vineyard at the highest point in Margaux, hecontinued in his traditional techniques. He finally sold thisoutstanding parcel of vines to José Sanfins, as he wishedfor his vineyard to remain independent, and to keep itsidentity away from the hands of the Cru Classé machines.Mr Sanfins, currently director at 3rd growth CantenacBrown produced the first vintage from his “garden vineyard”
of just 0.8 hectares in 2005.
This confidential exclusivity is one of the hidden jewelsin Margaux. Truly a grand cru in every sense except thatdidn’t exist in 1855!! The Wine Spectator says of the
2009 vintage: Blueberry, licorice and hints of toasted oakon the nose. Full-bodied, with wonderful concentrationand texture. Long, long finish.
玛歌啸月堡 Château Chantelune
加龙河沿岸左侧，在玛歌村一块最高的砾石台地上。酒庄的创始人是玛歌村的一位叫柏易斯的园丁，这位老人一生都在玛歌村为包括玛歌城堡在内的村里的葡萄树换土、培植、修剪、治病。老人非常勤劳，几乎每个月圆之夜都会在葡萄园工作，成为一个爱葡萄树如命的工作狂，村里人戏称其为“啸月之狼”。在他的精心照料下，玛歌村的葡萄树越长好，很少受到虫病的困扰，源源不断地酿出很多优质的葡萄酒。到了晚年，老人越发喜爱葡萄树，村里在最高的砾石地上为他创建了一座属于自己的微型庄园，为了纪念他的辛勤劳作将庄园命名为玛歌啸月古堡。曾任肯德布朗庄园（1855玛歌村列级名庄第三级）的总裁洛瑟先生后来继承了啸月古堡。 
啸月酒堡不仅地理位置极佳，而且葡萄平均树龄在基本都在35年。凭洛瑟先生多年出色的酿酒经验和管理经验，啸月古堡干红按照自然生态法种植，坚持手工采摘、橡木桶酿造等一系列的传统酿造工艺。限制产量，在这块一公顷的的葡萄园年产量严格控制在6000瓶以内，成为玛歌产区的顶级车库酒。高品质的酒给庄园带来美誉，2005——2008年连续获得《葡萄酒观察家》的高分评价，评分与（一级庄拉菲庄园副牌酒）相媲美，2009年更是一举获得了92-95的高分评价，超过小拉菲89-92的评分，获得了更高的排名。带有黑莓、黑加仑和甘草的香气，酒体浓郁，富含单宁，强劲有力，回味悠长。
