The Jurade of Saint-Emilion

The Jurade, which bears witness to the traditions of the past and guarantees the values of respect for heritage, good cheer and community spirit, has been able to adapt to changing times. Founded 800 years ago and revived in 1948, the Jurade preserves the memory of Saint-Émilion wines and promotes them all over the world. As a link between past and future, this prestigious brotherhood organizes receptions and induction ceremonies at which the 140 Jurats (members of the Jurade) perpetuate the values of sharing, openness to the new, transmission of legacy and tradition. To nurture the bonds of friendship with Saint-Émilion wine enthusiasts and trade professionals, Chancelleries have been founded in a number of countries. Embracing an ever-broader global perspective, the Jurade reaches out to all lovers of the wine, way of life and culture of Saint-Émilion and embodies its very soul.
