The wine region of Libournais
Rich in world-renowned wines, such as Saint-Emilion Grands Crus and Bordeaux/libournais/pomerol">Pomerol, the Libourne region Lies on the right bank of the Dordogne, on the edge of the Périgord. The region takes its name from the port city of Libourne, where many merchants from the Correze settled in the early 19th century. But its jewel is the small medieval city of Saint-Emilion, listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of the most famous showcases of the Bordeaux wine region. The region is very homogeneous due to its hilly landscapes, its geology (predominantly limestone subsoil), the concentration of vineyards and the importance of family-run, small or medium-sized estates, which contrast with the large Medoc-type estates.
