Saint-Emilion
A Day in Saint-Emilion
Today I spent the day with my cousin Florence in Saint-Emilion. We walked the town, visited some wine caves and had a wonderful day.
Saint-Emilion is a medieval village located in the heart of the famous Bordeaux wine area. It is a very unique site were world-famous wineries, fine wine, beautiful architecture and great monuments are a perfect match.
Saint-Emilion owes its exceptional wine to great soil diversity. The diversity of its wines is due to both a complex geology (sands, clay, limestone...) and a microclimate that is perfectly suitable for winemaking. With it’s different blends of grapevarieties (mostly merlot, blended with cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon or malbec) these varietals allow Saint-Emilion wines to have a wide range of aromas and flavors.
