Château La Papeterie

Montagne Saint Emilion

Wine of great character, a classic St Emilion, vivacious and with good aromatic expression. This expression is due to the high proportion of cabernet franc, combined with the intensity of the merlot. The cabernet francs ensure that, over time, the wine develops its finesse.

Located on the border of the Pomerol and St Emilion appellations (Corbon area), along the Barbanne stream where there was once a pulp and paper mill.
