The Story

The Château Saint-Georges Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion is a classic example of Right-Bank Bordeaux that captures both elegance and intensity, a signature of its vineyard's rich history and high-quality viticulture. Produced primarily from Merlot (60%), with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc completing the blend, this wine is grown on clay-limestone soils that contribute structure and minerality to the profile. The Desbois family, who have owned Château Saint-Georges since 1891, adheres to sustainable practices, enhancing the natural vitality and ageability of their wines.
