Appellation Saint Emilion

Like the 1855 classification of Médoc wines, an official classification of Saint-Emilion wines has been in place since 1955. A particularity of size, this classification is theoretically revised every 10 years. The biggest Châteaux are Angelus, Ausone, Cheval Blanc, Pavie, Figeac, Clos Fourtet, Canon, La Gaffelière ...

Glazed east of Pomerol, the appellation covers 5,400 hectares of very heterogeneous soils (ranging from limestone plateau to clay-limestone coast) and grape varieties. The 3 main grape varieties are Merlot, which remains the majority with 60% of the grape varieties, Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). All these variables lead to a great diversity of styles with wines that can be full-bodied and robust but also much more finesse.
