Region

Saint-Émilion is an appellation and key wine town in the Libournais district of Bordeaux, important in terms of both quality and quantity. The most searched-for Saint-Émilion wine on our database is Château Cheval Blanc.The town lies just a few miles north of the Dordogne, in the final stages of the river's journey from the hills of the Massif Central to the Gironde estuary. It is renowned as much for its beautiful buildings and scenery as for its wine. Its steep, narrow, cobbled streets, overlooked by its Romanesque church and the iconic 13th-century Tour du Roy tower are a reminder of the town's long history.

Varietal


The Merlot-Cabernet Franc duet is an established and important varMerlot is a red wine grape variety with strong historic ties to Bordeaux and the southwest of France. Currently the the most searched-for wine on our database that is made from the grape is Petrus, from Pomerol. It is the predominant variety in most wines from Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, the area in which the variety originated. Merlot is now widely planted in wine regions across the world and, in terms of the volumes of wine produced internationally, it is rivaled only by its Bordeaux companion, Cabernet Sauvignon. Its characteristically reliable ripening is a main factor behind its increased presence over recent decades in the Médoc and Entre-Deux-Mers (where it has mostly replaced white varieties) areas of Bordeaux.
