The Maréchalat des Côtes de Duras (Côtes de Duras Marshalcy)
« By the gnarled vine stock, By the knotty vine shoot, By the wine-laden grape, I vow to love and serve the wine of the Côtes de Duras, To my very last breath. »
Since 1st September 1985, various personalities have thus sworn their loyalty to the Côtes de Duras, pledging to spread far and wide the reputation and name of Duras wines.
The Maréchalat des Côtes de Duras plays an important role in promoting Côtes de Duras wines.
