Château Saint-Georges: A Timeless Bordeaux Treasure
Perched atop the rolling hills of Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, Château Saint-Georges is one of the most striking and historic estates in the region. Its imposing 18th-century château, built in a neoclassical style, is one of the most photographed in Bordeaux. The estate has a rich lineage dating back centuries and is renowned for its commitment to quality winemaking, making it a hidden gem within the Right Bank.

What Sets It Apart?

1. Prime Terroir & Location
   • The Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation, a sub-region of Saint-Émilion, is one of the smallest and most prestigious satellite AOCs.
   • Château Saint-Georges benefits from clay-limestone soils, similar to top estates in nearby Saint-Émilion, providing structure and depth to its wines.
2. Traditional Yet Refined Winemaking
   • The estate primarily produces Merlot-dominant blends, resulting in wines that are rich, velvety, and expressive.
   • Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon add layers of complexity and aging potential.
3. Exceptional Value for a Bordeaux Château
   • Compared to classified growths of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, Château Saint-Georges offers a high-quality Bordeaux experience at a fraction of the price.
