French film star and French Bordeaux magnate invests in Hungarian wine

Gerard Depardieu, one of France’s best known film actors, already owns several vineyards in e.g. the Loire valley (Chateau Tigné) and Languedoc. He has launched a cooperation in Hungary with Huba Szeremley (of First Hungarian Wine House Kft) who owns vineyards close to the Lake Balaton. The objective is simply to make Hungary’s best wine. Depardieu’s partner in the venture is Bernard Magrez, a Bordeaux magnate who already owns more than a dozen properties in Bordeaux. More in Budapest Business Journal
