🎧  Listen to Introduction

The cultivation of grapes was introduced by the Romans to this fertile region of Aquitaine and developed greatly in the Middle Ages. The Saint-Emilion region benefited from its location on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, and from the 11th century onwards many churches, monasteries and almshouses were built here. In the 12th century, during the English rule, it was granted the special status of a "jurisdiction". This is a landscape of great beauty, entirely dedicated to grape cultivation, with many fine historical monuments in its towns and villages.
