It was in 1725 that Irishman Thomas Barton settled in Bordeaux to start his company, which is today the city’s oldest winehouse still in activity… His grandson Hugh teamed up with Frenchman Daniel Guestier and in 1802 their partnership became official. From the Chartrons area in the center of Bordeaux, barrels and bottles were loaded onboard of ships that sailed via the Garonne river to numerous countries, starting with Ireland, England, Holland and the USA to reach over 130 countries at present.

Barton & Guestier is about to celebrate their 300th anniversary, continuing to give every wine lover in the world the opportunity to experience the great wines of France and to learn more about them.

Barton & Guestier is involved in various steps towards sustainability, especially at Château Magnol, which is member of the first organisation for the Environmental Management System for Bordeaux Wines. Steps involved considerations about land, energy, water and waste water quality, carbon and water footprint, waste reduction, safety and health.

At Barton & Guestier, Character, Knowledge and Art of Living are the core-values that guide their wines and can be tasted in every sip.
