Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion is the oldest wine area of the Bordeaux region. The UNESCO organization recognized the great terroir of Saint Emilion and put the site on the World Heritage List (see Dec 2, 1999 report).

Saint Emilion wines are considered the most robust of the Bordeaux. They are generous, very colored, and reach their maturity quicker than other red Bordeaux.

The classification in St-Emilion is complex. Do not confuse St.-Emilion-Grand-Cru and St.-Emilion-Grand-Cru-Classé fewer and much better. Here is the list of Saint-Emilion Great Growths
