Epic Saint-Émilion Cellar Starters

Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site on Bordeaux's Right Bank, boasts a winemaking history dating to Roman times. Its unique terroir and dominant Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, cultivated since the 8th century by figures like the monk Émilion, have consistently produced wines suitable for aging. Unlike the Left Bank's 1855 classification, Saint-Émilion's own periodically revised system, initiated in 1955, categorizes estates like Château Ausone and Château Cheval Blanc. This classification highlights the region's ability to craft wines that evolve gracefully over decades, offering complex flavors and a testament to meticulous viticulture and long-term appreciation, making them highly sought after by collectors for their cellar-worthy potential.
