About us

A family story and human-sized

Our father and grandfather Armando Marques, already himself the son and grandson of coopers, founded the Marques Cooperage in Martillac.

Today, it is his daughter, Paula, who is the general manager and his grandson Adrien who is in charge of barrel production.

We manufacture about 1,000 barrels per year with an export share for over 20 years.
