Owned and managed by the Corre-Macquin family, pretty much royalty in the Saint-Georges Saint-Emilon region, Chateau Bellone was founded by Albert Macquin (Ch. Pavie-Macquin), who first forwarded the idea of grafting vines onto American rootstock after Bordeaux's phylloxera epidemic; thereby saving much of the regions vineyards, if not most of Europe's. The Bellone wines are produced from 35 year old vines.
