 Chateau
Figeac
Figeac is a very ancient estate, going back
at least as far as the 2nd century AD, during the Gallo-Roman period, when a
certain Figeacus gave his name to a villa he built on this location. The site
has been continually inhabited ever since then, as proved by vestiges: a
water-supply system dating from the Gallo-Roman period, foundations of buildings
from the Middle Ages with defensive walls, and the remains of a Renaissance
chateau reflected in the present-day chateau's great door and tower.
Figeac belonged to the same family for more than 500 years, and was nearly 200
hectares by the late 18th century. Unfortunately, the estate was sold a number
of times in the 19th century. Successive owners sold numerous plots, which
explains the birth of various chateaux that appended the name Figeac to their
own.

Figeac
Chateau Figeac's underground cellars were
dug in 1971 and are used for bottling and storing wine in bottles..
Bottling generally takes place in late June or early July. The wine that has
been aged in barrels is transferred to the underground cellar by gravity flow,
without pumping, which is a decided advantage during the delicate bottling
stage.
The wine is then stored for at least 3 months before being shipped
