Description

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion

Château Villemaurine is a little gem among the wineries in Saint-Émilion. The 7-hectare vineyard consists of a single block with several plots. The location is breathtaking, as the entire vineyard is located at the very top of the limestone plateau, the most prestigious location in Saint-Émilion. Due to the east-west orientation of the vineyard, this location has the entire range of the different terroir types of the plateau. The relatively small size of the winery allows precision work to be carried out by hand in the vineyard, while the latest technology is used in the new barrel storage and in the cellar. The Grand Cru is matured in small barrels, plot by plot, which allows perfect response to the different terroirs.

In Portrait:

Château Villemaurine

Château Villemaurine is a Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Émilion and benefits from an outstanding location on the famous limestone plateau above the town. The sparse, mineral-rich soils give the wines tension, freshness and a fine saline note. Merlot dominates, providing dense fruit, velvety texture and elegant fullness, while Cabernet Franc adds structure, depth and aromatic complexity. The château’s style combines power and precision, ripe berry aromas with floral accents and a lively, balanced acidity. Careful vineyard work, modern vinification and respect for the terroir result in characterful, long-lived wines that authentically reflect the limestone heart of Saint-Émilion.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
