Situated to the north of Libourne, the town of Saint-Émilion, the appellation covers 1600 hectares of hilly countryside, ideal for wine-growing. Formerly simply called a "satellite of the Saint-Émilion appellation", like Lussac-Saint-Émilion, Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion and Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, the producers of this area were granted the creation of the AOC in 1936 to add the name of their village to that of Saint-Émilion. A magnificent vineyard to visit where the vines blend with Romanesque buildings, ancient fortresses (Château des Tours) or neo-classical houses: a genuine architectural heritage in the heart of a vineyard that was itself the first to be listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Producing only red wines marked by the typicity of Merlot that brings elegance and aromatic richness. The blend is completed by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Racy and powerful red wines, complex but very supple. Wines that improve with time.
