Barton & Guestier - Château Magnol
A brief history
It was in 1725 that Irishman Thomas Barton settled in Bordeaux to start his company, which is today the city’s oldest winehouse still in activity. His grandson Hugh teamed up with Frenchman Daniel Guestier and in 1802 their partnership became official. From the Chartrons area in the center of Bordeaux, barrels and bottles of fine French appellation wines were loaded on board of ships that sailed via the Garonne river to numerous countries, starting with Ireland, England, Holland and the USA to reach over 130 countries at present. Thomas Jefferson was one of the first customers in the US to enjoy Barton & Guestier wines. B&G's headquarters are based at Chateau Magnol, a famous vineyard producing great wines, and also hosting the company's guesthouse and its wineschool, the B&G Food & Wine Academy. Barton & Guestier practices responsible viticulture, aiming to preserve nature and people for the centuries to come.
