St.-Emilion
East of Libourne and Pomerol, St.-Emilion is the most scenic and historic village in all of the wine-producing Gironde. As with much of the Dordogne, this location has been settled since prehistoric times, and vines date to the Roman occupation in the 2nd Century AD. The village is named for an 8th Century hermit, and the medieval walled city on the site today was built up around this hermitage. Large scale vineyard planting dates to this era, and looking out over the rolling hills covered with king it is easy to imagine that the town did not appear that differently a millennia ago, with the exception of course of the tourist shops that line the streets.
As a wine producing region, St.-Emilion is densely populated and very complex. There are a number of different soil types in the areas where one finds the top châteaux - the limestone plateau upon which the village is constructed, the clay slopes (or côtes) that descend from this height, and the gravel terrace situated to the west of the village where Ch?teau Cheval Blanc and Château Figeac are found.
Many of the best producers are located west of the village on the plateau, while directly south of the village is the historic Château Ausone, the only St.-Emilion property to share the "A" category with Cheval Blanc. Finally, there are the properties that lie on what is called the Côte Pavie to the east of town facing the village. Troplong Mondot is found at the top of this hill, with Pavie itself to the southwest.
