ESTATE HISTORY

In 1716, Château Bel-Air was born on the foothills of the Garonne river. More than 150 years later, in 1898, Martin Borderie, a wine merchant from the Correze region came to Bordeaux and acquired the Château. He was the great-great-grandfather of the current proprietor Roland Coiffe. In 1921, Jean-Eugene Borie was born, and he devoted his professional life to Bordeaux fine wines by renovating Château Ducru Beaucaillou and then Château Grand-Puy Lacoste. In 2005, Golwinne & Roland took over the estate.
