Château Dauzac

Château Dauzac is a winery in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region of France, in the commune of Labarde. The wine produced here was classified as one of eighteen Cinquièmes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. From 1863 to 1939, the powerful Johnston family owned Dauzac. This ownership combined with the knowledge of CEO Ernst David Dauzac brought Dauzac to the forefront of the Médoc wine scene. In the 1880s, the tests which led to the development of the Bordeaux mixture to combat downy mildew took place mostly in the vineyards of Château Dauzac. It is now a family winery and owned since 2020 by the Roulleau family.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (commonly referred to as Pichon Lalande or Pichon Comtesse) is a winery in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. The estate was created by Pierre de Mazur de Rauzan at the end of the XVIIth century. The 80-hectare land (which included the Château Pichon Longueville Baron) originally extended from Pauillac and Saint-Julien. In 1694, de Rauzan's daughter married the Bordeaux politician Jacques Pichon Longueville, and the estate took the name Pichon. One of Pichon's daughters, the Comtesse de Lalande, became the next-generation owner of the estate. In 1850, the estate was divided into the two current Pichon estates. In 1925, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande was bought by Edouard Miailhe and Louis Miailhe. The daughter of Edouard Miailhe, May-Éliane de Lencquesaing (born in 1926) later became the owner and manager of the property. In 2006, de Lencquesaing sold a majority interest in the Château to the Rouzaud family, which also owns the Champagne house Louis Roederer.

Château Trianon

Château Trianon was created at the end of the 17th century by influential notables from Libourne and Saint-Émilion, in homage to the Royal Court and the sumptuous outbuilding of the Château de Versailles that the King of France had made his private refuge. In the 19th century, Trianon was a pleasure residence surrounded by meadows and vineyards, belonging to the Andrieu and Lecointre families. Until 1952, only 4 ha of vines were cultivated; they then increased to 6.5 ha.
In 2000, for family reasons, the Lecointre family decided to sell the estate. Following the sale in 1999 of Château Cheval Blanc, of which he was co-owner, Dominique Hebrard was then looking for a wine estate in Saint-Émilion whose potential he could reveal, and purchased the estate.

Bernard Magrez group

A multi-millionaire, Bernard Magrez (born 1936) made his fortune as the founder of the William Pitters spirits company and the low-cost red Bordeaux brand Malesan and Sidi Brahim. In December 2008 it was reported that the investment bank Lazard was offering Château Latour for sale, and Magrez was suggested as the likely buyer. In the July 2009 Decanter publication of "The Power List" ranking of the wine industry's individuals of influence, Magrez placed at number 29. In 2012 expanded his Bordeaux holdings with Château Malleprat in Pessac-Léognan, Château Moulin d'Ulysse in Listrac-Médoc, and Clos Haut-Peyraguey, a classified growth in Sauternes. Bernard Magrez is the sole owner of four classified growth chateaux located in the different prestigious Bordeaux Classified Appellations: Chateau Pape Clement in Graves, Chateau La Tour Carnet in Haut-Médoc, Chateau Fombrauge in St Emilion and Clos Haut-Peyraguey in Sauternes.

In Château Pape-Clément, Château La Tour Carnet, Château Fombrauge, the flags of the estates are flown together with:
- the flag of Bernard Magrez group, red field with logo in a rectangle with rounded corners and a gray outer border.
- the former flag of the former Languedoc-Roussillon region : although Bernard Magrez owns a domain in this region, I have no other explanation about the presence of this flag in his Bordeaux region estates.
- the unofficial banner of arms of Morbihan. Explanation: "Although he retains a strong South-Western accent, he is now searching for his Breton roots, to the point of wanting to replace the flag of Aquitaine on his castles with that of Morbihan." [source: les Échos, june 2011].
