On a winding country road, just to the north-west of the village of Saint-\u00c9milion, stands Ch\u00e2teau Yon-Figeac. Built in 1886, the ch\u00e2teau is a classic example of the region’s architectural style: a limestone house flanked by 24 hectares of vines.<\/p>\n

The result of a collaboration between artist C\u00e9cile Pitois<\/a> and Ch\u00e2teau Yon-Figeac, these sculptures were designed and created especially for the estate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”319″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1602492102045{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”340″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1602491913725{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]The artist was inspired to convey the idea that “blending wines is all about balance and composition, adding and subtracting as necessary”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1594281176524{margin-top: 30px !important;background-color: #ebebe9 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text text_align=”center” el_class=”h1″]\n

Our craft and our wine<\/em><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_align=”center” width=”800″ align=”center”]Each new season brings its share of work in the vineyard: pruning, leaf thinning, topping, green harvesting, ploughing the soil, the harvest, etc.<\/p>\n

At Ch\u00e2teau Yon-Figeac, our primary focus in the vineyard is to ensure the quality of the vines and the grapes they produce. As such, it is essential that each and every action we take is tailored to our needs and the terroir. Work in the vineyard is primarily carried out manually, allowing for maximum precision. We also harvest the grapes by hand, over the course of September and early October.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” min_height=”600″ css=”.vc_custom_1594385044399{background-image: url(https:\/\/chateau-yon-figeac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/home-bannier-2.jpg?id=126) !important;background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size:cover !important;}”][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1594281275142{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text text_align=”center” el_class=”h1″]\n

Fermentation and ageing<\/em><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”489″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1621325426020{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”491″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1621325432052{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text width=”800″ align=”center”]\n

The wines of Ch\u00e2teau Yon-Figeac<\/a> are fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats. The bespoke vats in our new vat room have been created in just the right sizes to allow us to ferment the grapes from each plot separately.<\/p>\n

Once fermentation is complete, the various batches are aged separately in our barrel cellar. The wines that will make up our Grand Vin (first wine) are aged exclusively in French oak barrels. Those destined for the estate’s second wine are aged in foudres (large casks) to limit the impact of the oak on the wine\u2019s flavours and aromatic profile.<\/p>\n

The wines are left to age in barrel for around a year.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” min_height=”600″ css=”.vc_custom_1594385056040{background-image: url(https:\/\/chateau-yon-figeac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/home-bannier-3.jpg?id=127) !important;background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size:cover !important;}”][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1594281383613{background-color: #ebebe9 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text text_align=”center” el_class=”h1″]\n

Environmental practices<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_align=”center” width=”800″ align=”center”]At Ch\u00e2teau Yon-Figeac we have been using sustainable agricultural methods since 2011 and adopting a winemaking philosophy that is more respectful of the environment and the people working in the vineyard all year round. Ch\u00e2teau Yon-Figeac has been ISO 14001-certified and a member of the first EMS association in the Bordeaux wine sector since 2013, and HEV 3-certified since the 2016 vintage.[\/vc_column_text]
