The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Gironde region
Saint-Emilion is located 35 km north-east from Bordeaux, between Libourne and Castillon-La-Bataille. This medieval town stands proudly at the top of a hill overlooking the Dordogne valley, and was built in the shape of an amphitheatre. From the moment the bell-tower can be seen, Saint-Emilion is an enchantment.
Saint-Emilion is a wine of great tradition, already well known during the Gallo-Roman period. It is a complex appellation with a great diversity of soils, which adds to its mystery and prestige.
Saint-Emilion, the vineyard and the landscapde are listed by the UNESCO as World Heritage.
