Our History
Remember where you come from to imagine where you're going
One of the greatest assets of Famille ICARD vineyards is its history, characterized by centuries of winemaking practices. Owned by the family since 1790, its members now wish to desacralize the world of wine by offering modern products.
Boutet family, the ancestors
The first owners of the estate appear in a notarial deed. The Boutet family settled in the commune of Saint-Félix, in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards, as shown on the Napoleonic cadastre extract of 1829.
Jean Boutet, the estate's founder
Between 1802 and 1855, the estate was extended by Jean BOUTET.
In 1832, his daughter Anne married Jean SERIZIER, who later became mayor of Saint-Félix.
