Clos Marguerite is a small family owned vineyard which is the fulfilment of a dream and the
result of a long journey.
The owners, Jean-Charles Van Hove and Marguerite Dubois have long
been driven by their wine passion.
Soon after their marriage, Jean-Charles and Marguerite planned to create their own vineyard.
To realize their dream, they looked toward the New World. After careful investigation, they
chose to emigrate to New Zealand in 1996.
Right from the beginning, Jean-Charles and Marguerite were convinced of the fabulous potential
of Marlborough for producing premium quality Sauvignon Blanc as well as Pinot Noir. They
spent time exploring the region seeking the ideal site to establish their vineyard. They found it in
the Awatere Valley, where they bought 10 hectares of bare land in 1998. Patient, they decided to
observe the terroir and live the climate before planting the first block in 2000.
