Cottenham | Fesq & Company | Vigorous Brothers

Fesq & Company was founded in 1848 when a young man travelled from Bordeaux as a supercargo. Georges Fesq worked for his uncles Vigourous Freres, negociants on the Quai des Chartrons in Bordeaux. A supercargo travelled with the goods, selling them in the various ports of call. Upon arrival in Sydney, Georges decided he wanted to stay and wrote home to his uncles asking for more wine to sell. Long before he died in 1899 the business had prospered and been passed to his son. Today the firm is still owned by the family and the fifth and sixth generations work in the business. The Portfolios of Fesq & Co and Vigorous Brothers include some of Australia, New Zealand and Europe's foremost wine producers. Above and beyond offering a superb range of wines, Cottenham is committed to delivering a totally professional service, from quality sales representation and effective marketing solutions, through to attentive customer service and reliable distribution.
