Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is an AOC located within the Bordeaux region of France, known for its high-quality red wines. The appellation encompasses a specific area around the town of Saint-Émilion and is characterized by its limestone plateau, clay, and gravel soils. The wines produced here must meet stricter regulations than those of the broader Saint-Émilion AOC, including lower yields and higher minimum alcohol levels. This designation is recognized for its historical significance, with viticulture in the area dating back to Roman times.

Full-bodied red wines with rich fruit and structured tannins
