Winemakers Dinner Château Figeac

To start the new year, 2022, on a high note, we have the pleasure of inviting you to our Winemakers Dinner with the flagship Saint-Émilion estate, Château Figeac, on Monday January 24th.

The dinner will be hosted by Blandine de Brier Manoncourt, owner of the estate, and her talented winemaker and managing director, Frederic Faye. Together, they will guide you through the estate's fine wines, its history and their perspectives on the future.
