La jurade de Saint-Emilion The 8th July 1199, Jean Sans Terre, son of Aliénor d’Aquitaine, and King of England, ratified the Chartes of Falaise, giving to Saint-Emilion on freedom, and free custom: it is the birth of the Jurade.
The Jurade takes in charge the viticultural area, the sector of activity which is predominating in the city, and social with the administration of a hospital, collected the noble tax and of the clergy, and the defence of freedoms in general.
Those strong rules of the Jurade contributed without any doubt to the prosperity, the production’s quality of wine in Saint-Emilion.
In 1289, under Edouard the first, King of England, Jurade’s power are extended to eight parishes around Saint Emilion forming the jurisdiction of Saint Emilion. The jurisdiction was formed of Saint Christophe des Bardes, Saint-Emilion, Saint Etienne de Lisse, Saint-Hyppolyte, Saint Laurent des Combes, Saint Martin de Mazerat (attached to Saint-Emilion at the Revolution), Saint-Pey d’Armens, Saint Sulpice de Faleyrens and Vignonet Les fêtes de la Jurade
Nowadays, the jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion still exists, but the geographical limits are similar to the appellation area (with some exception).
Like every ancient institution, the judge body of Saint-Emilion disappeared at the Revolution, but the 13th September 1948, on a proposition of Saint Emilion’s viticcultural organisation, is created a new organisation. Thanks to this proposition the Jurade knows a rebirth.
