Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Château Villemaurine is a jewel of an estate home to eight hectares of vines in the medieval town of Saint- Emilion, combining centuries of history and a terroir with amazing potential.
A STORY
In a few words
The vines are grown in a single block atop an extraordinary network of underground quarries, propitious to ageing wines in the best possible conditions. These quarries stand as a precious testimony to the ancient expertise of stone mining.
The wines of Château Villemaurine express all the minerality and character of Saint-Emilion’s limestone plateau. The fine, elegant tannins and complex aromas are underpinned by long-lasting freshness.
