Protected by a centuries-old hedge of small oaks and hawthorns stretching for 3 kilometers, the Château Figeac vineyard seems to defy the ravages of time. The spirit of the place and its family, the Manoncourts, are inextricably linked to a unique ecosystem. In this gentle tranquility, the new winery and the historic château together exude a profound serenity, shaded by centuries-old plane trees. Audacity and the constant pursuit of precision draw their strength from this place. Here we find the embodiment and supreme refinement of a great and singular gravelly terroir, unique to Saint-Émilion.
