History of the Estate
Chateau de Condat, Saint Emilion Grand Cru, belonged for a very long time to the kings of England who distributed, in turn, the considerable revenues it produced to English lords or the Gascon lords that remained faitfhful to them. After acquiring the property, the Janoueix family has worked hard to restore it, with a deep respect for nature.
