The Estate:
Within the Pontaud family for several generations, Bernard and Françoise have gradually passed the torch to their children: Laurent and Sophie.
Originally a fruit and vegetable farm, it was Virgile, Mayor of Gaujac and founder of the cooperative winery, who gave new impetus to the farm by partially converting it into a vineyard.
Then his son Jean, in 1945, took over the business and began making wine in his own cellars. Upon his death in 1971, Bernard converted the entire farm into a vineyard. He completely broke away from the cooperative winery and decided to create his own winemaking unit in 1978: Château de Marjolet was born. Then begins the local, national and international distribution. Today, the estate is managed by Bernard and Françoise's children: Laurent and Sophie, soon to be joined by Thomas, the grandson.
