CHATEAU FEYTIT DIVON

Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux

Isabelle Feytit and her brother Franck own and operate 3 acres in Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion. The vines are over 40 years old and some reach over 100 years. The soil is sandy with iron subsoil. 

The Feytit family also owns and runs  Chateau Tour Grand Faurie in Saint-Émilion, They have over 35 acres and produce Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. 

Situated in an area where vines were first cultivated at the time of the Roman conquest, Saint-Georges is a unique site where remains have been excavated of an imposing villa thought to have belonged to the consul and poet Ausonius, who also grew vines.

It was originally a small religious community to which its 11th century Romanesque church still attests. This elegant edifice with its primitive style and rustic sculptures is a source of Tourist attraction. Parts of the structure are Carolingian, dating back to the 9th century. Saint-Georges used to be a barony with a mansion, which was transformed in 1773 into a marvel of Louis 16th architecture by the architect Victor Louis.

Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in the Bordeaux wine region of France. It is situated in the Libourne subregion on the right bank of the Dordogne. It was granted AOC status on November 14, 1936, and the AOC designation granted to the wines which have been harvested on the land of the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion hamlet, which is part of the commune of Montagne. The vineyards of Saint-Georges Saint-Émilion cover 495 acres and produces an average of nine to ten thousand hectoliters each year.
