1897, Fernand Ginestet founds “Ginestet & Co” and settles on the symbolic Quais de Bacalan in Bordeaux. Demonstrating true entrepreneurial vision, Fernand Ginestet applies himself to uniting its interests of viticulture and trade. He pioneers what is today called the “Interprofession Bordelaise”, by creating the “Estate and Trade Union”, which in 1948 becomes the Bordeaux Wine Council. In 2010, the Taillan group extended its portfolio of exceptional holdings by acquiring the Château Broustet estate, a 2ème Cru Classé en 1855 located in Barsac-Sauternes.
