Origin and history

The Hédouville and Cuzey grape harvests, located in Bourguignon-sous-Montbavin, in the department of Aisne (Hauts-de-France), are two wineries built in the 17th and 18th centuries. They are one of the 18 grape harvests that once existed in the commune, illustrating the historical importance of viticulture in this region. These monuments, inscribed in the titles of historical monuments between 1996 and 2009, bear witness to rural architecture linked to the production of wine.

The Hedouville vineyard preserves an 18th-century bourgeois house and remains of a press building of the same century. The Cuzey harvest, on the other hand, includes a bourgeois house dating from the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century, an 18th century farm house, and a 18th or 19th century stable building. The two properties retained their network of cellars from the 17th and 18th centuries, essential elements for vinification.

The inscription of historical monuments in 1996, then the modifications made in 2006 and 2009, concern the facades, roofs, the 18th century gate, the fence wall, the remains of the press, as well as all the cellars. These protections highlight the heritage value of these buildings, which reflect both the social organisation around the vine and the wine production techniques of the past.
