Chateau Indage

Cheateau Indage was founded by Shyamrao Chowgule in 1982 after two years of research by Champagne Technologies of France[citation needed].

[citation needed] On a business trip to Paris, Chougule fell in love with champagnes and decided to produce sparkling wine in Maharashtra, where he started a winery in 1984.

It was after he was allowed to sell 25% to the Indian market, he started Marquis de Pompadour (MDP) and made it a household name.
