MASCARON

In 1897 Fernand Ginestet founded Ginestet & Co. and settles on the symbolic Quais de Bacalan in Bordeaux. Demonstrating true entrepreneurial vision, Fernand Ginestet applies himself to uniting his interests of viticulture and trade. He pioneers what is today called the 'Interprofession Bordelaise', by creating the "Estate and Trade Union", which in 1948 became the Bordeaux Wine Council. Following its affiliation with the powerful Taillan Group in 1978, Ginestet finds its place at the heart of a prestigious family of great châteaux. The technical and aesthetic characteristics of this wine contribute to the popularity of the Mascaron Range.
