Description: Pierre Lurton, part of the renowned Lurton winemaking family, was drawn to an unremarkable, run-down house and vineyard situated not far from where he grew up, He fell in love with Château Marjosse located between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, in Bordeaux. The estate had almost nothing going for it except a patch of ancient vines planted in the 1940s. In 1990, Pierre was able to move into the property, purchasing it little by little from its long-time owner while expanding the vineyard area. Thus, even before he could buy the property outright in 2013, Pierre made it his life’s passion and work-outside-of-work to restore the manor and bring the forgotten old vineyard up to its true potential.
