The Libournais

Hub of the most prestigious vineyards of the Right Bank, the Libournais offers a mosaic of soils and subsoils that contribute to the uniqueness of the wines from one terroir to another. Although Pomerol and Saint-Émilion have several similarities, we will notice an even more marked presence of Merlot in Pomerol, where the wines will offer aromas of black fruits, a velvety texture and more moderate oak. 

In Saint-Émilion, some châteaux will bet on the slightly more obvious presence of Cabernets, which will confer a more austere structure, more marked acidity, and which will benefit from more patient aging in oak barrels.

Fly over the Saint-Émilion and Pomerol regions to discover their main characteristics in short videos produced by the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
