The history of Saint-Laurent-Médoc and its châteaux
- Early 14th century – The oldest part of the Château de Sémignan, a fortified manor west of Saint-Laurent-Médoc, is built.
- 1322–1323 – Sémignan is first recorded, in a homage made to Amanieu VII d’Albret, lord of Vertheuil.
- 1344–1346 – The lordship of Sémignan is bought by Bérard I of Vayres, who is also lord of Vertheuil.
- 1810–1815 – The present Château Margaux is built in neo-Palladian style on the site of an older fortress.
- 1855 – The official classification of Bordeaux wines ranks Château La Tour Carnet a fourth growth and Château Lynch-Moussas a fifth growth; Latour, Lafite and Margaux are first growths.
- 1862–1864 – The present Château Latour and a new cellar are built at Pauillac under the Bordeaux architect Henri Duphot.
- 2019 – Most of the Médoc becomes the Parc naturel régional du Médoc.
Wikipedia has no article on this particular château or loft, so the history above follows the châteaux around it. Saint-Laurent-Médoc lies halfway between Bordeaux and the Pointe de Grave among the Haut-Médoc crus, on the main road linking the north of the Médoc to Bordeaux, which today bypasses the village.
The vines grow on gravel mounds left by an old course of the Garonne, with marshland between them. The commune borders Pauillac, Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, Listrac-Médoc, Cissac-Médoc and Saint-Sauveur, among others.
