Chateau St Georges is a large estate in
St Georges St Emilion, covering some 20-25% of the appellation. With a history
going back to Roman times, the castle shown on the label was built in 1772,
retaining only the four imposing towers of the old medieval structure. The
grand vin is 60% Merlot with the rest divided between the two Cabernets. The
grand vin is aged in 50% new oak for some 15 to 18 months. A second wine -
Chateau Puy St Georges is made from younger Merlot vines with 9 months aging,
whilst a special cuvee - Trilogie (launched 1995) is made from 45-year old
Merlot vines
