The winemaker

The history of Maison Kressmann

Édouard Kressmann settled in Bordeaux in 1858, where he joined a wine trading house. In 1871, he founded Maison Ed. Kressmann & Cie. He set up partnerships with various estates, including Château La Pierrière (AOC Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux). In 1897, Edouard Kressmann launched Kressmann Monopole Dry, the oldest Bordeaux brand still on the market today. In 1930, Édouard Kressmann's heirs bought Château Latour-Martillac (AOC Pessac-Léognan). In the 40s and 50s, Édouard Junior developed the wine trade within the company. Since 1960, Maison Kressmann has managed the distribution of Château La Commanderie (Cru Bourgeois - AOC Saint-Estèphe). In 1967, it joined forces with Dourthe Frères. The company expanded further with the distribution of Lagrave-Martillac (Château Latour-Martillac's second wine). In 2007, it became part of the Alain Thienot champagne group. Since 2011, Maison Kressmann has further expanded with Château Sissan.
