Wine in Saint-Georges-Saint-Emilion

A crimson robe, the nose of subtle rapsberry , rhubarb, spicy and tobacco aromas. In the mouth the elegant and silky tannins bring a very feminine touch to this wine."

Cap d’Or is the chateau’s second wine, but rather than being secondary it is rather its feminine counterpart. This femininity reveals itself in a floral, raspberry touch and in freshness and minerality. The wine is fine and seductive, with a very delicate hint of oak that reinforces the fruit and the terroir. Historically, Cap d’Or was named Cap Doro by the Romans in the First Century when they decided to clear the south facing slopes. Superb exposure to the sunlight allows for an excellent maturation of the grapes and seeds, providing the basis for a very natural vinification.

Château Saint-Georges is our first wine known around the world. It is made of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aging in barrels is carried out for 12 to 14 months with 30 to 40% new barrels. We produce approximately 300,000 bottles each year.
