Ulysse Cazabonne was founded in 1976 by three eminent figures of the Bordeaux wine trade: Henri Martin, Jean Cordier and Jean Paul Gardere.

The same team of dynamic vine-growers and merchants has created in 1949 the Commanderie du Bontemps. Years after years the power of this association of wines makers and wine lovers has increased. Today the Commanderie still promotes, celebrates and protects not only the wine but all the values which are so closely linked to it here: friendship, gaiety and allegiance to our terroirs.

In the mid 70? the wine merchant Ulysse Cazabonne has become the official distributor of the Cuvée de la Commanderie du Bontemps. This range of selected wines was the "ambassadors?of various appellations from Bordeaux, like Médoc, Sauternes, Graves.
