Vines have been planted in the region since the Roman era. It was only from the 16th century that properties appeared, as we know them today. It was during this same period that Saint Vincent of Saragossa became famous as the patron saint of winegrowers. Since then, each Saint Vincent’s Day (22 January) has been an unmissable date for winegrowers, who come together to start the winter work in the vineyard and honour their Saint. The Entre-Deux-Mers is dotted with Romanesque churches and fortified towns or “bastides”, built during the second half of the 13th century. They offer our villages charisma, and the memory of a Franco-English past. For a long time, these Missions were gathering places for winegrowers. Our structure was born in 1980, resulting from the wish to pool our know-how from the cultivation of the vine through to vinification, to produce wine expressing the richness of AOP Bordeaux. Natives of the Entre-Deux-Mers, daughters and sons of the vine, together we have named our wine “Mission Saint Vincent” to pay tribute to our traditions and values.
