Château Macquin is located just three kilometers north of Saint-Émilion, in the small village of Saint-Georges, the smallest of all Bordeaux appellations with 180 hectares only. However, at its peak of 89 meters above sea level, Saint-Georges enjoys one of the best elevations on the right bank, giving the wines freshness and concentration. The south-facing vines are planted on clay and limestone soils and range from 15 to 60 years old. Chateau Macquin was created by Albert Macquin, the first agronomic engineer to plant again after the phylloxera of the late 19th century. It is a 31-ha vineyard, mainly merlot planted, giving strong wines, generous, almost as famous as Saint Emilion wines.
