À propos du lieu

Village Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne

24230 Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne

Dordogne
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

On the border between the Gironde and the Dordogne, 7 km north of Castillon la Bataille, Saint-Michel-de-Montarigne is known for its castle where the famous writer, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592), councillor of Parliament, was born and died, Mayor of Bordeaux, Gentleman of the King’s Chamber and tireless traveller.
These wines and vineyards date back to the Crusades. Michel de Montaigne was surely able to contemplate their descendants from his tower when he was writing his essays. It is a wine country, besides the Montravel has the originality to have slopes exposed to the South, perfectly sunny, perfectly adapted to the quality of the wines of our region.
This village with a very large forest, is mainly agricultural and wine. The vines are ideally placed on a well exposed tray and produce a very high quality wine.
