CHATEAU MELIN

Château Mélin: An Exceptional Terroir in Libourne

Château Mélin is a family-owned vineyard located in Libourne, Gironde, producing wines from the AOC Saint-Emilion and Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellations. Spanning 10 hectares near the Dordogne River, the estate benefits from a micro-climate that is ideal for vine cultivation. The soils on the property, which date back to the Quaternary era, are sandy and gravelly brown soils. This healthy terroir is comparable to the famed terroirs of Pomerol and the western part of Saint-Emilion.
