Montagne Saint-Emilion wine
Montagne Saint-Emilion, a wine from Bordeaux France Vineyards
Montagne-Saint-Émilion is an Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) for red wine in the Bordeaux wine region of France, where it is situated in the Libourne subregion on the right bank of the Dordogne.
Merlot is the most dominant grape variety, accounting for 75% of the planted area. It ripens well and gives wine its colour, a good alcoholic richness, a full bodied texture and is smooth and round on the palette.
Cabernet Franc is an important element of the Libourne plantations and represents nearly 20% of the vineyards of Saint-Emilion. It gives the wine an aromatic flavour, lightly spiced, with a coolness and tannic structure, giving the wine an aged flavour.
Cabernet Sauvignon is representing around 5% of the plantations. It gives wine a gently spiced flavour, complex with a tannic richness, and favourable to its long and harmonious preservation.

Chateau Fonroque is the only Grand Cru Classe property in Saint-Émilion that is certified both organic and biodynamic. This has a lot to do with the history of the Moueix family, which has owned the estate since 1931. The Moueix family came to the estate with a deep love of the land and the (...) While I was in Saint-Émilion I stopped into L'Éssential Thunevin to see what was new and I was glad I did. The 2009 vintage of Jean-Luc Thunevin's Bad Boy had recently been released and I took the opportunity to sample it. The wine is a blend of mostly Merlot with a small amount Cabernet Franc. (...) At the east end of Saint-Emilion, perched at the top of an impressive limestone hill, we find Château de Pressac. An unknown little gem on great terroir: steep limestone slopes all around, reminiscent of those from the premier grand cru classés that we find on the famous hill a bit to the west, (...)
