The winery is located at the entry of Monségur, fortified town from the 13th century, founded by Eléonore de Provence, married to Henri III, Plantagenêt, King of England, duc d’Aquitaine. She particularly appreciated this place where she used to travel. She enjoyed abusing of the good food and the good wines produced in the region.
In 1932 the vine growers of Monségur, a village in the heart of the Bordeaux region, formulated an idea in order to overcome wine industry difficulties at that time and enable them to continue to perform their job as winemakers.
This day, they formulated the idea of pooling their financial and human resource in order to overcome these difficulties and to continue performing their job as winemakers.. The year after, fifteen pioneers wine growers subscribed to this union and created the Monségur Cooperative. They brought their first harvest and thanks to the qualitative and economical success of this action, other wine growers quickly joined the group.The Second World War that came after might have slow it down, but at the contrary, it reinforced solidarity between men and women. Women did not hesitate to replace their husbands who where often away because of the war. They also used to paint their windows in blue in order to be able to continue working during the curfew nights.
Since then, the Monségur Winery did not stop to evolve; it was adapted regularly in order to adapt to its vineyards and its equipments. Nowadays, there are around 200 members who are extremely attached to the quality of their products, and above all, who are attached to their human relationship.
