Saint-Émilion
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the wine region of Saint-Émilion is the oldest in Bordeaux (France) and its wines are considered the most robust. It produces 6% of the total red wines of Bordeaux.
The wines of Saint-Émilion are divided into two appellations: Saint-Émilion and Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. The latter applies strict production criteria that enhance the typicity of the wines and includes a classification composed of Grand Cru Classé and Premier Grand Cru Classé. The well-vinified wines of the region possess great elegance and an intense crimson color, characterized by a whole palette of aromas. Additionally, they are balanced, full-bodied, and velvety on the palate.
Climate
Atlantic and temperate climate. The Dordogne River softens the summers and prevents spring frosts. Autumns are sunny, allowing the grapes to reach perfect ripeness.
