Château Cap d'Or

Château Cap d'Or sits in Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, a sub-appellation of Bordeaux's Libournais region known for structured, age-worthy reds. The winery produces a Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion that blends Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc—a composition that reflects the region's tradition of Bordeaux blends anchored by Merlot but deepened with supporting varietals. The wine has been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Saint-Émilion's right-bank terroir, with its clay and limestone soils, favors the softer tannins and ripe fruit character that Merlot brings, while the Cabernet varieties add backbone and aging potential. Cap d'Or's blend captures this balance: approachable in youth yet built for the cellar.
