Take the time to discover the village of Fleurac!
This village located on a hill was originally the domain of a Gallo-Roman owner, named Fleurus. You will find in its town center, a church known as the Templars from the 12th and 15th centuries with its fortified bell tower-wall reassembled in the 19th century, and a defensive chest on the choir. There is still a square tower today which forms the sanctuary.
Many castles are enthroned in this small town:
- Château Malbec from the 16th and 19th centuries
- Château Cluzeau from the 16th and 18th centuries
- Château Souffron from the 17th and 19th centuries
- The 18th century Château Le Peuch
- The Château de Fleurac at the beginning of the 20th century
Viticulture in Fleurac
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Fleurac sector produced excellent quality wine. The very powerful lords of the time made big profits from it. We then ship the wine to Holland!
After the phylloxera crisis around 1880, around fifty hectares of vines were replanted. Red wine and a renowned sweet white wine are produced. Production reached its peak between the two wars. No classification of the wine having been possible, production ran out of steam in the 50s. The vines were uprooted at the end of the 60s.
