Château Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac: Émile Nérini
It was not long before the next legal challenge came along, in 1923, again relating to the name of the estate. By this time René Bouchart was running the property with the help of a son-in-law, Émile Nérini (1862 – 1967), who led a double life as proprietor on one hand, as composer and pianist on the other. This time the court decided that, in reference to previously absorbed properties, the estate should be distinguished from others in the region by the addition of Grand Barrail to its name, and thus Château Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac was born.
René Bouchart tumbled off his mortal coil just one year later, and thus the running of Château Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac and its 20 hectares of vines fell entirely to Émile Nérini.
