HISTORY
Founded in 1997, Borderac Crus & Vins, a negociant house in Bordeaux is the product of a 150 years heritage. The adventure began in 1847 when Polish agronomist Pierre Skawinski took over the management of Chateau Giscours and settled in the Médoc. He became the first in a long line of Skawinski descendents who became rigorous and inventive vineyard estate managers. Pierre’s son Théophile became estate manager at Chateau Léoville Las Cases at the end of the 19th Century and he ended up purchasing the property. He was succeded by André Delon, his son in law, followed by Paul, his grandson and Michel Delon through 4 generations in the 20th Century, keeping the property 100% family owned.
Finally, in 1997, Yorick d’Alton, son in law of Michel Delon, and subsequently Axel d’Alton, Delon’s grandson created Borderac Crus & Vins, a Bordeaux negociant house to continue and perpetuate the family tradition. BCV is thus a transfer through generations of profound expertise in Bordeaux and its vineyards – and today is synonymous with quality and above all a profound passion for wine. We are ambassadors for our winemaking partners and our objective is to share our history and our experience with our clientele.
