Jean Dubois-Challon - Château Belair Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Premier Grand Cru Classé) | French Red Wine

Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Saint-Emilion vineyard is one of the most precious jewels of the Bordeaux wine-growing landscape, and the star of the right bank of the Garonne. Recognized since 1936, this controlled designation of origin extends around the medieval town of the same name. It is also here that the first wine union in France was created in 1884, ensuring since then that the rights of the region's winegrowers are preserved. The soils of the appellation are mainly clay-limestone, there are also more sandy and gravelly areas at the bottom of the hill, near the alluvial zone.
