Chateau St. Georges Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion 2019

Château Saint-Georges is a historic wine estate located in the small Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, an area with a viticultural history stretching back more than two thousand years. The château sits on the highest point of the appellation, a site once associated with Gallo-Roman vineyards and long valued for its advantageous exposure and soils. Over the centuries, the estate evolved from its medieval origins into an elegant 18th-century château, reflecting both architectural refinement and agricultural continuity. Since the late 19th century, Château Saint-Georges has remained under family ownership, ensuring long-term stewardship and consistency in winemaking direction. The vineyard covers approximately 44 hectares, planted predominantly with Merlot, alongside smaller proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. These vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils that are characteristic of the Saint-Émilion region and well suited to producing structured yet supple wines. Vineyard work is carefully managed with close attention to vine health, yields, and ripeness, emphasizing quality over quantity. In the cellar, traditional Bordeaux techniques are paired with modern controls, allowing the maker to preserve the estate’s heritage while crafting wines that express both precision and elegance.
