Douces Collines Montagne-Saint-Emilion 2022

Douces Collines: (re)discover the wines of the Saint-Emilion region!

Presentation

Presentation
Between vineyards and rivers, along wooded hillsides and picturesque roads, the vineyards of Saint-Emilion, Lussac, Puisseguin and Montagne form a landscape of gently sloping hills stretching over more than 75 km2.

Poetically known as the "hill of a thousand châteaux", these vineyards are characterised by a mosaic of plots, where the vines take root in clay-limestone soils.

Our Douces Collines range invites you to (re)discover these terroirs through wines from the finest plots of our winegrower-members.
