Paul Pontallier passed away yesterday

It is with deep sorrow and emotion that the Château Margaux team and I announce the passing of Paul Pontallier, on March 27, 2016.
He joined the company in 1983 to become its general manager in 1990, then only 34 years old.
Our thoughts go out to his wife Béatrice and his children Guillaume, Thibault, Alice and Antoine at this difficult time.

The funeral, which will take place in the Saint Seurin Basilica, Place des Martyrs de la Résistance in Bordeaux on Saturday April 2nd at 11 o’clock, will be followed by interment in the cemetery at Saint Martin de Laye, close to the family estate of « Bouteille ».
