It became part of the Ginestet family holdings, owners of Chateau Margaux, that same year. Today, it is owned by the US-based Colony Capital group who were a large player in the modernization the Left Bank of Bordeaux as well as renovating estates and replanting vineyards. Not only has the wine been passed through owners, but the style has evolved as well.
