History

[BORDEAUX ROOTS]

Domaine du Tireberey

Domaine du Tireberey, owned by Christian Pujol, is a vineyard located on the hills near the commune of Arbis, in the heart of the Bordeaux-Haut-Bénauge appellation area, one of the highest quality in the region.

The family estate dates back to the 1900s, Christian having acquired it from his own mother in the 1960s, with just a few plots in the middle of a dense forest at the time. After years of hard work, Christian created 6 hectares of rich, vigorous vines, which are still in production today.

Its mission has always been in keeping with this unique terroir: to produce exceptional wines and share them with as many people as possible.

Château Merlin Frontenac

Château Merlin Frontenac, owned by Yannick GARRAS and his wife Christianne Pujol, is located in the commune of Frontenac in the Bordeaux entre-deux-mers region.

A family vineyard for over a century, owned by Yannick GARRAS's great-grandfather in the 1900s, it was initially a mixed farming operation with cereals, vines and livestock.

Yannick took over the running of the estate in 1974 when he was just 20 years old. Despite his youth, he still passed his diploma in viticulture and oenology at La Tour Blanche in Bordeaux. Over the years, this practical experience has enabled him to improve his technique, both in his 18 hectares of vines and in the cellar, to produce an exceptional wine today.

The château is renowned in the region for its quality - the terroir is wedged between two rivers (Engranne and Gourmeron), on a hillside divided between clay-limestone slopes with boulbènes on the upper slopes, resulting in a supple, aromatic wine with shared values.

PWS EXPORT-WINES

Grandson of Christian and nephew of Christianne and Yannick, Pierre Olivier Rives' origins lie in the world of wine. A graduate of the Mastère Spécialisé Vins & Spiritueux Faculté d'Oenologie de Bordeaux (KEDGE programme) and WSET3, with a passion for wine and travel, it was driven by the family vision that he turned to the export market, to share the fruit of secrets handed down from generation to generation.
