Château Saint-Georges

En un regard

Le château en bref

At the top of a Montagne hillside, facing the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, Château Saint-Georges displays a U-shaped plan flanked by four towers that recall its past as a feudal residence. The estate was sold in 1602 by Henri IV during the break-up of the châtellenie of Puynormand. A neoclassical façade, which tradition attributes to Victor Louis, architect of the Grand-Théâtre de Bordeaux (an attribution not supported by any scientific source), softens this silhouette. Owned by the Desbois family since 1891, the château surrounds its residence with a wooded park and farms around 45 hectares of the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation. It hosts tastings, cellar tours, weddings and corporate receptions.
