France, Bordeaux

Chateau de Ferrand was founded in 1702 by Elie de Bétoulaud in honour of the 'Sun King' Louis XIV, and is today owned by the Baron de Bich family. We have all had a BIC-pen in our hand at least once in our lives, another product of the de Bich family. Only these two families have been owners of Chateau de Ferrand since the year 1702.
