The old Berthelecotte vines of Neufchâteau are a reminder of the little-known wine-growing past of this region, where vine growing once flourished.
Operated by the Berthelecotte family, these vines contributed to local agricultural and economic development, producing wine that was appreciated in the surrounding area.
Although viticulture declined in the region over time, particularly with the industrial and agricultural transformations of the 19th century, the old Berthelecotte vines remain a symbol of this now-vanished tradition, evoking a local wine-growing heritage and a time when Neufchâteau grew its own wine.
Genealogical research indicates that the name Berthelecotte appears in Neufchâteau civil status records, particularly in 18th-century marriage certificates.
