Vineyard notes: "It's from the most exclusive Bordeaux appellation (190 ha) – Saint-Georges Saint-Émilion AOC – that the Château and its vineyard shine their light. Located on top of an argilo-calcareous hillside, south orientated and well ventilated, the vineyard includes a traditional panel of grape varieties: Merlot which reigns supreme and Cabernets Francs and Sauvignon, to a lesser extent (20%). The first brings roundness and its inimitable aromas to the wine, while the latter two reinforce its structure and balance."

The Château Saint-Georges wines deliver the aromatic richness of Merlot with excellence. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness from an exceptional argilo-calcareous soil in early October. Our wines are generous, elegant, and long on the palate with a pleasant balance between power and tannic "finesse".
