作為法國波爾多Saint Estèphe 的名莊,奧瑪堡的地理位置正好在Médoc半島的小山丘上,附近有著名的莊園Château Cos d'Estournel和Château Montrose。奧瑪堡不單止代表了長遠的歷史,也像徵了就算是面對挑戰,莊園的工作團隊的每一位成員都有一股不屈不撓的精神,這個酒莊的名字同時也代表了對釀酒充滿著熱誠。
今天奧瑪堡坐擁75公頃的葡萄園地,但最初在1952年,由Herve Duboscq從Lambert先生手裡購入園地時,面積才只有6公頃! 要追溯歷史的話,土地是在1854年屬於MacCarthy,但業權 經過分拆,多年來奧瑪堡的莊主慢慢地不斷購入最好的地段,才能夠不單止把奧瑪堡擴大, 也把MacCarthy最早期的園地重新整合。
在1970年,Henri Duboscq正式繼承父業,這位新的領導人物很了解莊園所擁有的葡萄園極有潛質,加上泥土的養份豐富,獨特的風土卻還沒有完全發輝出來,為了把這些優點 表現出來,Henri當機立斷作出...
Château Haut-Marbuzet 位於著名Cos d'Estournel 愛士圖尓 和 Montrose 玫瑰莊園之間，如今葡萄園佔地61公頃，種植的葡萄比例分別是Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Merlot 40% 和 Cabernet Franc 10%。 莊園的位置俯瞰Gironde吉隆特河，其實再準確一點來說,是在碎石的山脊上，同時也是在Long Treytin的山丘上。傳統來說，這一區所釀的酒不會選用以大部份的 Merlot 來釀酒，同時也不會用全新的橡木桶來作長期的陳年，不過正因為用了這些非傳統的方法，才會令 Château Haut Marbuzet 有一種獨特和酒感較柔滑的質感，與同區之中心一向較為簡單直接圓渾的風格不同。
在選用的橡木方面，釀酒師的要求特別嚴格，Henri Duboscq深明各種木香的特性 ，在不同的年份所選用的橡木都會有所不同。除此之外，每年收成的葡萄都必須經過嚴格挑選，發酵在水泥的酒缸中進行，好處是溫度的差別不會...
假 如沒有Hervé Duboscq，Château de Marbuzet便沒有今天的成就。Hervé 自幼生長在清貧的環境，家裡的人在Lot-et-Garonne以牧羊為生，大部份都是文盲，Hervé到九歲還不懂讀書寫字，但聰明人最重要是有頭腦， 在十四歲那年，他在本區的火車鐵路公司當學徒，在那裡他學識了文字，服役之後在鐵路公司任職為法國最年輕的檢察員，到1937年更在Langon升任為站 長。
踏入雙十出頭的Hervé已經懂得生活的享受，品嚐美酒，結識異性等活動令他很快發覺生活入不敷出。婚後他身兼兩職，借用太太的名字 在Lavardac充當酒塞銷售員，Lavardac正是法國專門生產酒塞之都，透過這份的兼職，Hervé 打通了人脈，尤其是在Gironde一帶。在那裡認識了經營酒商生意的Georges Bert，Georges主要是替小莊園賣酒，但同時也專門賣白的甜酒。當大戰過後，Georges建議Hervé投身酒業，為了鼓勵他，Herv&e...
