From Bordeaux: Full-Day St Emilion Wine Tasting Tour｜France

The wine region of Libournais encompasses much of what is referred to as the Right Bank. Named after its historical capital, the expression Right Bank typically refers to wines from the Pomerol and St-Emilion areas of the Libournais.
There are several villages around the region that share the Saint-Émilion name, such as Montagne-Saint-Émilion and St-Georges-Saint-Émilion which are named the satellite appellations. The area is bordered to the west by Pomerol.
Merlot is the dominant grape in this area, followed by Cabernet Franc and a very small quantity of Malbec that is tending to disappear. The climate and damper, cool soils of the area make it difficult for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to fully ripen so Cabernet Sauvignon is less often used.

Depart for the Saint Emilion wine region and enjoy a visit and wine tasting at a famous classified growth château of the Pomerol or Saint Emilion appellation.

Afterward, arrive in the village of Saint Emilion and enjoy a guided walking tour with your guide to discover the main monuments of this quaint hilltop village. During your free time for lunch and personal discovery, visit the underground monuments of Saint Emilion.

In the afternoon, experience another visit and wine tasting session in one of the selected classified châteaux of Saint Emilion.
