Wondered if you could help me. I have been told that there is a winery
in the Bordeaux region of France called Chateau de Marsan.
Since our last name is Marsan, we would love to purchase a bottle of
wine from them but have tried many different ways to locate them. The
information I have received is as follows:
The Chateau is located in Lestiac 28km southeast of Bordeaux on the
right bank of the Garonne River. The vineyards cover 200 hectares and
offer a range of seven red wines under two appellations: Premieres Cotes
de Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superieurs.
It is known for its rich and delicate aromas of flowers and red berries
and for its mellow and rounded taste on the palate. It is a delicate
and high quality wine. They also have white wines. A sauvignon-like
type with the taste of the Semillon. Two other wines, a white
luscious-liqueur type and a rose are also produced by the Vignobles
Gonfrier under the name of Chateau de Marsan.
If you could help in any way, we would be extremely grateful.
Toni and Ben Marsan

I tried two different places. First was www.popswine.com, they did not have it.
Second I tried www.wine-searcher.com. They had some sources for the wine for which you are looking. However, the shops are either in France or in Great Britan. Importing them might be a bit of a problem, however I have not real experience in ordering wines from over-seas sources.
Try one other source: B-21 Wine and Spirits in Tarpon Springs, FL. Their web site is www.b-21.com.
They might be able to help you; send them an e-mail or give them a call. The phone number is posted on their web site.
