Northern Saint-Émilion satellite on the Bordeaux Right Bank (AOC 1936, ~72,000 hl/year): rich, silky reds dominated by Merlot — ripe red and black fruits, candied plum, pepper, undergrowth and animal leather notes with age, melted tannins and velvety texture. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot in blends. Varied terroirs: southeastern clay-limestone hillsides typical of Saint-Émilion and gravelly western plateau, generous and accessible identity.

A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
