I can't stand not to talk a few words about the pearl of Bordeaux wine region laying just east of the capital of this county. We spent one night in St-Émilion where one of the greatest red wines produced in the world. Fall cannot be a better season to visit the region when the harvest is well under way, everybody is quite busy and the vineyards are full of people working hard to have another fantastic vintage on the dining table of their fans. We had a nice opportunity to touch the edge of the "golden plate" as economically a well planned trip needed to be fully absorbed in those tasty 'juices'. There are some images to be able to get an impression of the territory of St-Émilion.
The base of the big Reds. No idea if this is a Merlot or a Cabernet Sauvignon however.
The harvesters are not lazy. They just had a breakfast.
The vineyard between the ancient castle-like buildings make this village spectacular.
The village from the hill.
The church...
... and the main square.
We found the Hotel Oystercatcher in a narrow alley.
Beautiful misty morning with the adjacent vineyards.
While I am not the biggest fan of brandies those cognacs amazed me by their age. Some of them are older than I am.
And last but not least the bottles why every tourists and business man is coming for to St.-Émilion. If you have a chance do the same.
