In the 18th century, when Monsieur de Brassier was also the owner of Château Beychevelle, vinegrowing and winemaking activities took off and a new business was born. Once the troubles of the Revolution over, Château de Lamarque developed its winemaking activities. From 1841, under Pons Count of Fumel, business really boomed.
The wines of Lamarque enjoyed commercial success and won many distinctions. Despite all this, however, life on the state was to be disrupted by the vicissitudes of history, and in particular by the two World Wars.
The loss of the men of the family was to transfrom Château de Lamarque into something of a “Sleeping Beauty”. |
