CASTLE SAINCRIT ORIGINS

Between 1860 and 1880, the invasion of vine phylloxera destroyed almost all of the French vineyards.

Along the Gironde estuary, the farmers turned to the cultivation of wheat, many mills were erected on the surrounding hillsides. At the end of the 19th century, Vincent SAINCRIT, a miller by profession, decided to replant vines on the hillside of MONTALON. Thus was born the CHATEAU SAINCRIT, of this man and his descendants who passed on the vineyard for five generations.
