We are delighted to welcome you to our “family of families,” a diverse collection of unique wineries with deep historical and family roots in many of the world’s most prestigious terroirs. Transcending traditional boundaries, the Boisset Collection embraces audacity & innovation and unites Old World and New into the One World of Wine, offering an unparalleled exploration of terroir, heritage, vineyards and style. Boisset is a family-owned collection of historic and unique wineries bound together by a common cause: authentic, terroir-driven wines in harmony with their history, their future and the land and people essential to their existence. With more than twenty historical and prestigious wineries in the world’s preeminent terroirs, including the Côte d’Or, Beaujolais, Rhône Valley, California’s Russian River Valley and the Napa Valley, each house retains its unique history, identity, and style, and all are united in the pursuit of fine wines expressive of their terroir. Boisset embraces its Franco-American roots with our vision that a spirit of collaboration and commitment to wine on both continents will transcend any divisions. We believe that the union of the two worlds of winemaking will deepen our shared appreciation of their distinctness, diversity and unity, and enrich and enliven our worlds. We are inspired to think that together, we can unite two continents and two cultures around wine. More than seventeen centuries of combined history unite the wineries of Boisset. Cistercian monks planted the vineyards of Le Clos Vougeot in 1110, inspiring Domaine de la Vougeraie to this day. Bouchard Aîné & Fils has built its family reputation in Beaune since 1750. Buena Vista Winery is California’s first premium winery, founded in Sonoma in 1857. These are just a few examples of the remarkable history of the Boisset Collection. Deepening the legacies of each of its estates is at the core of Boisset’s mission.

Un héritage d’excellence et d’innovation depuis cinq siècles. Situé dans le Médoc, à la croisée de paysages viticoles uniques, Château Margaux incarne depuis cinq siècles l’alliance parfaite entre tradition et modernité. Ce domaine historique, élevé au rang de Premier Grand Cru Classé en 1855, repose sur un terroir unique qui donne naissance à des vins d’exception, synonymes d’élégance, d’équilibre et de longévité. Depuis 1977, guidé par la vision de la famille Mentzelopoulos, Château Margaux a su préserver et magnifier cet héritage en insufflant un esprit d’innovation. De l’introduction de techniques viticoles pionnières à la création d’un chai et d’une vinothèque d’avant-garde par l’architecte Norman Foster, chaque initiative traduit une quête constante d’excellence. Château Margaux produit une gamme de vins emblématiques, chacun reflétant la richesse et la diversité de son terroir : le mythique Château Margaux, le Pavillon Rouge, le Margaux du Château Margaux, ainsi que les Pavillon Blanc et Pavillon Blanc Second Vin. Loin de se limiter à un savoir-faire exceptionnel, Château Margaux se distingue par une vision tournée vers l’avenir. Grâce à des pratiques viticoles durables et des innovations technologiques, le domaine poursuit son engagement pour préserver ce patrimoine unique tout en répondant aux défis de demain.

Familia Torres founded its winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, 150 years ago, but its roots in the winegrowing traditions of Penedès date back to the 16th century. Five generations have carried the family business forward, passing on their passion for wine culture from parents to children – a passion steeped in respect for land and tradition, and a firm belief in innovation. Today the winery focuses on wines from unique vineyards and historical estates, as well as the recovery of ancestral varieties, which could provide long-term solutions. Since 2008, Familia Torres has taken active steps to combat the climate emergency, implementing adaptation and mitigation measures to reduce its carbon emissions. Familia Torres has a historical connection to Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre, but now its presence extends to vineyards and wineries in preeminent Spanish wine regions – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Rías Baixas – and in Chile and California. It is a member of Primum Familiae Vini, an association representing twelve of the oldest and most prestigious wine families in Europe.
