CHATEAU FIGEAC

The estate would be named after the Figeacus family who, in the 2nd century, settled where the actual Château is. The estate's history started in the 15th century. Several owners succeeded each other and some of them sold plots which are now part of the Cheval Blanc vineyard.In 1892, the estate became the Manoncourt family’s property. Thierry Manoncourt, forerunner of the vineyard scientific approach, is behind the creation of the Figeac style. Figeac was classified “B” as Premier Grand Cru in Saint-Emilion appellation.
