- Other products of Marianne Estate Marianne, a national emblem of France, is a personification of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity (Brotherhood). The symbol of "Marianne" has very ancient origins. On her head, Marianne wears a special cap. This cap is called a "Phrygian cap" and was worn by freed slaves during the Roman era. It showed that they were Roman citizens and free. During the French Revolution in 1789, the figure of a woman dressed as a warrior wearing the "Cap of Liberty" came to symbolize the idea that freedom was worth fighting for. People suggested that as this symbol represented the freedom of the common people, it should bear the name most given to women of the common people - Marie- Anne. This later became "Marianne". Her statue holds place of honor in town halls and law courts. She symbolizes the "Triumph of the Republic". Christian Dauriac, owner of three «Châteaux» (Destieux, St Émilion Grand Cru Classé, La Clémence, Pomerol and Château Montlisse, St Émilion Grand Cru), is very involved in Marianne Wine Estate.
