Chateau Figeac
A vast agricultural and vineyard estate existed on the site of today's Château Figeac as early as the 2nd century. It was named after the Figeacus family, who began wine production on the estate's territory. Between the 15th and 16th centuries, Château Figeac was among the most famous wineries, and owners from significant winemaking families alternated here. In 1586, they rebuilt the estate in Renaissance style and added a cellar where wines still mature today.
It is worth noting that the style of Figeac emerged from the will, knowledge, and work of the winemaking expert Thierry Manoncourt, whose family owned Château Figeac. Manoncourt determined the essential selection of cultivated grape varieties for both the then and current production. In the second half of the 20th century, he introduced the wines to foreign markets and made Château Figeac famous worldwide.
