The current fortress was built one thousand years ago by Garsion de Lamarque, the ancestor of Pierre-Gilles Gromand d’Evry, to defend the Médoc against Vikings invading from the Gironde Estuary. It was also the site of fierce assaults by the English during the Hundred Years’ War…
Thalésie de Lamarque, granddaughter of Garsion, owned the estate in 1247. She left her mark on the château and its surrounding vineyard, which is part of the soul of the estate.
Her spirit continues to accompany the talented men and women who are caretakers of this superb terroir, and who give the wines of Lamarque their brilliance, freshness, sensuality, and long aftertaste.
771 years later, Thalésie d’Everlange, the granddaughter of Marie-Hélène and Pierre-Gilles, shares the same values.
