Saint-Emilion Wine

Established in 1936 as one of Bordeaux's first appellations, Saint-Émilion covers roughly 5,400 hectares of limestone plateau and gravel terraces on the right bank around its medieval hilltop town. Unlike the fixed 1855 Médoc ranking, its classification, introduced in 1955, is formally reassessed roughly once a decade, so a château's Grand Cru Classé status must be earned anew each time. Among the great wines of Saint-Émilion, you will find in particular Château Simard and Clos Saint-Vincent and more at The Vintage Wine Club Hong Kong.
