It intrigues, it impresses, and it has stood the test of time: the Jurade de Saint-Émilion is one of France's most emblematic wine-growing brotherhoods. Founded in the Middle Ages, this institution still watches over the soul and quality of Saint-Émilion wines.
Every year, the Brotherhood symbolically opens the grape harvest, in a setting that is as solemn as it is spectacular. Red dress, banners in the wind, torches in the night... The Jurade perpetuates ancient rituals and know-how handed down from generation to generation.
In this episode, Les Moustachus plunge into this very special world, with its mix of tradition, culture and local pride. They meet the men and women who, beyond their ceremonial dress, uphold the values of the vineyard and defend the excellence of a terroir recognised the world over.
A unique behind-the-scenes look at a living heritage.
