It would appear that wine and art have been inextricably linked as far back as can be remembered.

And there is no better proof of this than the artistic town of Saint Emilion itself.

Much like the potter, the wine-grower is on intimate terms with his vines.

He knows each row, judges good health by colour of the leaves, breaks up clods of earth with his bare fingers.

Naturally, it is the quality of the fruit that will condition the quality of the wine.

Native of these privileged terroirs, the potential of grapes here is extraordinary.

The innumerable medals won by the Union de Producteurs are also the official recognition of the separate vinification policy, allowing each château to preserve intact its own personality and typicity.
