Maison Borgeat isn’t just a name: it’s a centuries-old story of passion, innovation, and uncompromising quality. Our iconic emblem, the intertwined “M” and “B” set in an ornate floral motif, has symbolized excellence since 1856, a timeless mark of craftsmanship.

Abel: The Revolutionary Winemaker

 
At the heart of our legacy stands Abel (1876-1937), the visionary who redefined Bordeaux wine. In an era when great wine was reserved for the elite, Abel broke the mold: producing exceptional, affordable wines that rivaled the most prestigious crus. His relentless pursuit of perfection didn’t just elevate Maison Borgeat; it raised the bar for all of Bordeaux.

The “Abel Spirit” Lives On

More than a century later, his philosophy remains our compass:
Democratizing fine wine: no overpriced pretenses, just unmatched quality
Innovation meets tradition: honoring heritage while pushing boundaries
A taste of Bordeaux’s soul: crafted for those who know the difference

Today, every bottle we produce carries Abel’s legacy forward. Because great wine shouldn’t just be admired: it should be enjoyed.

At the heart of Château Borgeat’s renaissance stands Estelle Borgeat – a true modern guardian of Bordeaux heritage. Beyond meticulously restoring these historic walls and personally welcoming guests, she brings her exacting passion to the winemaking process. From vine to bottle, Estelle blends ancestral knowledge with contemporary precision, ensuring each vintage carries the property’s distinctive character. Her hands touch every aspect of this revival – whether selecting the perfect barrel, supervising the gravity-fed cuvier’s delicate operation, or sharing tasting notes with visitors in the shadow of our Gothic towers. This is more than stewardship; it’s the continuation of a family legacy through every restored stone and every perfected blend.
