The story
Mille Roses was born in 1999, the year of owner David Faure’s 30th birthday. The Margaux made by the property had its first vintage in 2007 as the finest parcel of his vines was reclassified into the appellation. A wonderful wine that will continue to age well over 15 years, takes its heritage from its wonderful large gravel soils. The name Mille Roses was chosen by David Faure in reference to the rose bushes that his late mother planted in her vineyards that David now continues in her memory.
