HISTORY
Haut-Marbuzet really began its existence in 1952 when Hervé Duboscq, who was wine merchant and colorful character, purchased this 7 ha estate. Hervé Duboscq was indeed in trade relationship with the owner , a Mr. Lambert, who had himself inherited these vines following the bursting of the vast field of McCarthy family in 1854. By successive purchases Duboscq reconstructed the vineyard . His son Henry assured gradually, in the 70s, the responsibility of the property. By his extraordinary personality and his bold choice in grape and wine material , he put his reputation and the quality of Upper Marbuzet to a level considered by many close to the finest wines of the appellation.
