Meanwhile his cousin, Gaubert de Fumel, was taking part in the Crusades. The story of the Lamarques and Fumels continues today. In fact, Georgine de Fumel, the Marchioness of Evry by way of marriage, is the grandmother of Pierre-Gilles Gromand d’Evry who today is responsible for the future of the château’s vineyard.
The vicissitudes of French history led to the family having to leave Lamarque during the Hundred Years’ War, meanwhile Henry V of England became the owner and the Duke of Gloucester became its resident (1414 to 1447). When the region was returned to French rule in 1453, the renowned Maréchal de Matignon started living at Lamarque, and it is said that he later died there from a stroke following a heavy meal with lots of wine!
The Lamarque vines have existed since the 15th century. At first, the wine was produced only for the château itself. Professor Pijassou has verified its existence and it is recorded on a map of Beylleme from this period. Following this historic ‘Renaissance’, Pierre-Gilles and Marie-Hélène Gromand brought new energy to the project by rethinking the basics: respecting nature, ensuring that the quality of the grape varieties and their rootstock are adapted to the soil, and a slow wine making process with a long maturation period. They are the 25th generation from this family’s long story and the 7th generation to look after a vineyard in this exceptional 48-hectare estate, carrying the Haut-Médoc appellation, the regional appellation incorporating smaller communal appellations. Today, Château de Lamarque is a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. Read more
