Information:

"Bernard Magrez's career has been marked by passion, a constant desire to improve, know-how and exceptional success, with its roots first in Bordeaux ( Grands Crus Classés) and then in other prestigious terroirs in France and around the world.

Bernard Magrez was born in Bordeaux in 1936. From a rather rigid upbringing, he drew his first life lessons. But between enduring them and assimilating them, the choice was clear: in the midst of turmoil, an uncommon inner strength would take root.

At the age of 13, he was sent to an apprenticeship center for 3 years, where he obtained a CAP in wood sawing, his only diploma. It was there that he met François Pinault.

At 19, perfectly self-taught, hejoined the Cordier group, a major Bordeaux wine house, which he left at 21.It was there that he discovered all the ins and outs of the business.

The year is 1961. Bernard Magrez is 25 years old, and his ambition is an anchor in the infinite possibilities. He travels to the United States, where he discovers an unprecedented sales model: the hypermarket.

Bernard Magrez has never stopped evolving, renewing and diversifying, always on the alert, focused on the horizon, already ready for the next step.

The 80s. Bernard Magrez began his rise to fame with the acquisition of his first Cru Classé,the one that remains the icon of Bernard Magrez's House to this day: Le Château Pape Clément.
