Towards the middle of the 18th century the Libournais vineyards acquire their prestigious fame through the production of renowned names such as Pomerol, Saint-Emilion, Fronsac…

This area with its rare collection of varied terroirs only produces red wines under various appellations.

In the estates surrounding the village of Saint-Emilion, wines appear under two appellations : Saint-Emilion and Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. The latter can also be given the added mention “Grand Cru Classé” or “Premier Grand Cru Classé”.

Around Pomerol, a vineyard dating from the 12th century, we find two appellations: Pomerol and Lalande-de-Pomerol.

North of Saint-Emilion we find Satellites de Saint-Emilion around the villages of Saint-Georges, Puisseguin, Lussac and Montagne that have given their names to appellations.

Finally, we find two wines named « Côtes » under the appellation of Francs Côtes de Bordeaux and Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, and near Fronsac, on a hill rising 70 metres above the Dordogne, the two appellations of Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac.
