Saint Emilion

Located on the right bank of the Dordogne river, the thousand year old
vineyards of this area can boast a worldwide reputation. Saint Emilion is
a small medieval town set among the vines and is nicknamed ‘the hill with
a thousand crus’.

In 1989 UNESCO listed Saint Emilion among world heritage
sites and one can easily understand why. Many monuments can be visited
on the two hills: the collegial church (12th to 14th century), its cloister
(14th century), the monolithic church, built inside limestone rock (12th century).

These vineyards are extremely famous, not only for the fine elegant wines they
produce, but also for the town which bears the same name.

Despite it’s small size (350 acres) the Pomerol classification is considered as
the wine-growing jewel of the area.
