-SAINT EMILION & SAINT EMILION GRAND CRU AOC -
Saint-Émilion is a key wine town in the Libournais district of Bordeaux, important in terms of both quality and quantity. It 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. The town 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. in december 1999, saint emilion was included in the list of world heritage sites for humanity, as a cultural landscape. for the first time ever, a landscape for vineyards was entered in the prestigious unesco list.
