Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, France
Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes is a winery-led corner of Saint-Émilion, and our guide reflects that focus. It includes 20 wineries, with 15 in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes itself. The remaining entries sit across a few named zones in our guide, including the Saint-Émilion wine region and the eastern Saint-Émilion plateau. The range runs from very limited old-vine Merlot to biodynamic farming, monastic buildings, restored dry-stone terraces, and single-parcel estates. Château Louis produces roughly 8,000 bottles a year, while Château Fombrauge has roughly 60 hectares under vine and produces about 300,000 bottles a year. Château Fombrauge offers tastings, vineyard visits and blending workshops in a historic chartreuse setting.
