Ginestet is a renowned French winery with a rich history spanning over a century. Established by Fernand Ginestet in 1897, the winery is located in Quais de Bacalan in Bordeaux. Fernand Ginestet played a pivotal role in the wine industry by founding the “Estate and Trade Union,” which later evolved into the Bordeaux Wine Council in 1948.

Throughout its esteemed history, Ginestet has been affiliated with prestigious châteaux such as Château Citran, Château Gruaud Larose, Château Broustet, Château Ferrière, Château Haut-Bages Libéral, Château Camensac, Château Chasse Splee, Château La Gurgue, and Château Gressier Grand Poujeaux.

In 1978, Maison Ginestet was acquired by the Taillan group, owned by The Merlaut family. This partnership further expanded the Taillan group’s impressive portfolio with the addition of the Château Broustet estate, a 2ème Cru Classé en 1855 situated in Barsac-Sauternes, in 2010.

Presently, Ginestet employs approximately 100 dedicated professionals who are committed to upholding the brand’s legacy through the meticulous administration and production of their emblematic wines, both in France and worldwide. To cater to diverse consumer demands, Ginestet has developed several distinctive brands, namely Ginestet, Francês Roots, CAP270 by Ginestet, and Marquis de Chasse.

In 2008, Ginestet ventured into the world of fragrances, introducing their first two scents: Brotytis and Sauvignonne. These fragrances draw inspiration from the captivating aromas found in their wines, particularly the primary aromas characteristic of Bordeaux wines. Collaborating with the esteemed perfumery Floresence from Grace, Ginestet carefully selected three of their wines – a dry white, a red, and a Sauternes from the Sauternais region of Bordeaux – to identify the key molecules that would later be used in the creation of these fragrances.

Ginestet’s fragrance collection currently features three offerings and encompasses a range of scents. The earliest fragrance was launched in 2003, with the latest addition unveiled in 2008.
