Visit and tasting
Enjoy a gourmet break at Château Yon-Figeac! Take a guided tour, taste our wines, and then savor a picnic of local products in our park or on the terrace. Our tour will begin with a presentation of the history of the estate and the château, then we will delve into the Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion terroir, ending with a focus on our estate, our classified vineyards, and our grape varieties. We will enter the sparkling vat room, renovated in 2021, to discuss our winemaking techniques, then into our barrel cellar where we will talk about the aging of our wines. You will taste three wines from the estate: Les Roches de Yon (St-Emilion Grand Cru) in two different vintages and Château Yon-Figeac (St-Emilion Grand Cru Classé). We will then give you your picnic basket composed of local products: assortment of raw vegetables, charcuterie board, cheese, bread, dessert, water, and a glass of wine per person (fruit juice for children).

Sobre o anfitrião
In the shade of its beautiful 19th century residence and its tower, this Château Grand Cru Classé of Saint Emilion perpetuates traditional know-how in each vintage, in search of great quality. Since its acquisition in 2005 by Mr. Alain Château, major technical and architectural work has been undertaken on this Château, for a complete renovation of the operating buildings. The wine is worked with delicacy and regularity of style, without ever distorting the notion of terroir so important in the eyes of Mr. Château and his team. From this constant work comes a fleshy and tasty Grand Cru Classé, with great aging potential, as well as a fruity and fresh second wine. Thanks to the use of Merlot and Cabernet Franc in its blends, Château Yon Figeac takes up the codes of classic Saint Emilion. The uniqueness of this Château is defined by the use of Petit Verdot, an atypical grape variety in Saint-Emilion which gives a nice finish as well as a very interesting spicy touch. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a work by the artist Cécile Pitois, representing the duality formed by the sun and the rain in the accomplishment of a beautiful vintage, put in parallel with the duality of men and women.
