Registered in 1999 on the UNESCO world heritage, the jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion is a remarkable example of a historic wine landscape which survived intact. In 2005, we had rehabilitated of former winery  in a building made of traditional stone. Sought again in 2008 for a project of  a bigger scale.
