The winery is located in the municipality of Cantenac in the Margaux area of the Médoc(Bordeaux) in the immediate vicinity of the famous Château Margaux. Originally named Château de Gasqu after its first owner, the wine was supplied to the court of Louis XIV (1638-1715). Around 1816, the estate was sold by Jeanne de Gasque to the English Major General Charles Palmer (1777-1851), who served under Arthur Wellington (1769-1852). Palmer acquired further plots in the municipalities of Cantenac, Issan and Margaux by 1831. When Château Dubignon was closed down, part of the vineyards were added to the estate. In the end, the entire estate comprised over 160 hectares, 82 of which were vineyards.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
