Château Le Prieuré, Saint-Emilion 1999
Acquisition of 2 planted plots of land for vine growing in the Fongaban and Les Menuts lieu-dit by the Berthomieu de Meynot family.
The lands of Fongaban have been tenant farms since the Middle Ages, used to grow cereals and herbaceous plants. Vines were cultivated in a narrow perimeter of the town alongside the communication routes whereas vinification was carried out within the town walls.
Ancient texts mention the presence of vine gardens (known as ‘Casaus’) near Porte Brunet which were carefully tended by their growers.
« Les Menuts »was purchased in 1686 by the Meynot family and forms an integral part of the viticultural landscape.
