Introduction

Saint-Emilion is a famous world heritage site and a must-visit place in Bordeaux tourism. The narrow streets are filled with charming Roman churches. Around the 2nd century AD, the Romans began planting grapes here. In the 4th century, the renowned Latin poet Ausonius praised the rich and full-bodied wines of the region. The development of Saint-Emilion wine is also indebted to a monk named Emilion, after whom the town of Saint-Emilion is named. In the 8th century, Monk Emilion arrived in Saint-Emilion and took refuge in a monastery, leading other monks to produce and trade wine in the area.
