It is based in the Margaux appellation and was designated a Third Growth in the 1855 classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"article-collapse heading-sm mt-4A collapse show\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe property was founded by and named for Jean Desmirail who established the estate towards the end of the 17th Century. Several years before the 1855 classification, Desmirail was bought by Théophile Sipière, then the manager at Chateau Margaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSipière is attributed with elevating Desmirail to its third growth status, while Margaux was named a first growth.
