That’s quite a stern portrait of you in Château Margaux’s information satchel, Monsieur Valance.
There were many, but Corinne Mentzelopoulos, the current owner of Château Margaux, chose this one. She took the photo herself.
Perhaps that’s how she sees you.
*Laughs.* Perhaps!
What is Madame Mentzelopoulos like? For someone who took the reigns from her father, she must be iron-willed. But her love for photography divulges a poetic side.
She has four passions: photography, reading, literature and the arts, and lastly, dogs,
Does Château Margaux have an heir or heirs?
Corinne has two daughters and one son. Alexandra Petit works closely with me and takes care of social media, marketing and communications, while the second daughter specialises in the fine art in London. As for the son, who is 26 and fresh out of wine business management school, he will join us in a few months, which is very important, as we’ll have the new generation next to the old.
