Montagne Saint Emilion

Montagne-Saint-Emilion is the largest 'satellite' title of the Saint-Emilion appellation in the 'right bank' Libournais sub-region of Bordeaux. The appellation applies to red wine only.

The zone surrounds the village of Montagne, five kilometers (three miles) to the north of the town of Saint-Emilion. In total there are around 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres) under vine. The appellation laws state that wines made from the Saint-Georges commune, though recognized as an independent appellation in its own right, may also be labeled as Montagne-Saint-Emilion.

To qualify for the Montagne-Saint-Emilion appellation, wines must contain a minimum of 11 percent alcohol and come from vineyards planted to a density of less than 5500 vines per hectare. There are 220 growers, of whom 23 are members of the local Cave Cooperative.
