The first generation of the Geromin family to labour these soils put in back-breaking hours of work to produce a fabulous expression of this wonderful terroir. They have now passed the baton to the third generation, their two daughters who keep on making beautiful refined wines.

Presentation
The property has a wonderful history and pedigree. Situated just 17 kilometers from Saint Emilion on the Coubeyrac plateau of clay and limestone – the blend that helps to express some of the finest wines in Bordeaux. The property first started by some monks in 1850 became renowned for its vines, cereal production, and cattle rearing. Now just a winery, the perfect exposure of a plateau with south-facing vines upon ancient sedimentary soils allow the Geromin family to produce fabulous wines.
