Arnaud and Florence de la Filolie also have 3 monuments located in the heart of SaintEmilion: l’Ermitage where Emilion himself lived, the Chapelle de la Trinité (XIIIth century) and catacombs. All these vestiges, National Listed Monuments, have been purchased by La Filolie family in 1850. Saint-Emilion would have inspired the wine from Chateau Laniote? Arnaud de la Filolie, Madame Freymond Schneider’s grandson, and his wife, née Florence Ribéreau-Gayon, oenologist, their family and the 8 generations before are deeply sure of that.
