Domaine du Bois de Pourquié

Originally cathedral builders, the Mayet family settled in southwestern France around 1830. There, they established the Domaine du Bois de Pourquié on a small plot of land between the Dordogne River and the hillsides of Monbazillac. Initially, in 1852, the property was used for mixed farming, and viticulture remained a minor activity. It was not until after World War II that the vineyard truly flourished, largely due to the modernization of production.
