Jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion, Wine region in Gironde, France
The Saint-Emilion jurisdiction extends across limestone plateaus and hillsides, creating optimal conditions for grape cultivation through its varied soil compositions and favorable climate patterns.
The medieval wine-growing area received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1999, marking the first vineyard landscape to obtain this international recognition.
The Jurade brotherhood, established in 1199, continues to oversee wine production standards and declares the start of grape harvest season from the King's Tower.
The region produces wines primarily from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with many estates offering guided tours and tastings throughout the year.
The underground network beneath Saint-Emilion stretches for 200 kilometers through limestone quarries, connecting numerous wine cellars and historical structures.
