Histoire du domaine
The history of Château La Fleur Morange is linked to Château Du Basque, handed down in 1977 by Simon Landard to the Lafaye family. Véronique Lafaye married Jean-François Julien in 1992; following a plot exchange, the couple took over very old vines located in the lieu-dit La Clote, in Saint-Pey-d'Armens. The estate was officially founded in 1999 with just 14 ares and eight rows of vines, vinified in a garage: the first vintage produced 900 bottles. A trained cabinetmaker, Jean-François Julien learned winemaking notably by reading the works of Émile Peynaud, while Véronique brought her family experience in viticulture. The property gradually expanded to 3.5 hectares. In 2012, Château La Fleur Morange achieved the rank of Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion. Véronique and Jean-François Julien remain its owners; Jean-François is responsible for the vineyard and winemaking, while Véronique notably manages the business and participates in vineyard work.
