St Emilion...

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 wines are renowned and enjoyed all around the world, but they are not only great wines, they have always been of paramount importance for the town. Hard work, draconian regulations and the ability to work together have ensured Saint-Emilion’s prosperity and independence through the centuries. Wine flows in the town’s veins... and in its inhabitants, this is probably a comparison that can be done easily, but here it is close from reality…

The appellation produces a tremendously wide range of wines for the greater delight of consumers everywhere. Each has its own special personality, full of subtle nuances, from the most humble, but nevertheless delicious wines, to the most prestigious growths, which can age for decades.

Young wines have aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, and blackberry, as well as vanilla and fresh toast. Older wines have a bouquet of leather or venison and generally have a better structure and more power. There are a myriad of aromas in a glass of Saint-Emilion. The wines have a brilliant crimson colour, which deepen with age, and a great deal of generosity on the palate. These are the main qualities of this "nectar of the Gods", but a thousand and one others are to be discovered…. while tasting!
