Help please on the very last question: "Soon two of Bordeaux's five first growths will be headed up by women. Please name the chateaux and the ladies in question". I know one is Chateau Margaux and Corinne MENTZELOPOULOS, but the other 4 appear to be run by men; anyone have any inside knowledge?! Many thanks and Happy New Year to all posters and lurkers.

I thought it was her too until I noticed she died in 2014!
The five first growths in Bordeaux are:


Château Lafite Rothschild Médoc (Pauillac)
Château Margaux Médoc (Margaux)
Château Latour Médoc (Pauillac)
Château Haut-Brion Graves (Pessac-Leognan)
Château Mouton-Rothschild Médoc (Pauillac)

The asnswers have to be two of these.

At Ch. Lafite, the daughter is due tro take over during 2018. her name is Saskia de Rothschild
