village de St Emilion, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Saint-Émilion (Sent Milion en gascon) est une commune du sud-ouest de la France, située dans le département de la Gironde en région Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes.
Site touristique de premier plan — 1 000 000 personnes en moyenne la visitent chaque année — elle possède une importante parure monumentale (ermitage, église monolithe, église collégiale, palais des archevêques, immeubles cossus et restes de fortifications) qui se décline au gré de ruelles tortueuses (appelées « tertres ») et de placettes ombragées, et jouit de la renommée de son patrimoine œnologique (vignoble de Saint-Émilion) et gastronomique (macarons, pâtés, foies gras).

Saint-Émilion is one of the principal red wine areas of Bordeaux along with the Médoc, Graves and Pomerol. The region is much smaller than the Médoc and adjoins Pomerol. As in Pomerol and the other appellations on the right bank of the Gironde, the primary grape varieties used are the Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with relatively small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon also being used by some châteaux.
Saint Émilion wines were not included in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. The first formal classification in Saint-Émilion was made in 1955. Unlike the 1855 classification, it is regularly revised.

Hello Philippe,
Excellent point of view on this beautiful wine village that produces equally beautiful wines. The pleasant ambient light makes it resurge from the surrounding greenery with the church tower offering a lovely focal point. Perfectly exposed with superb colours and clarity. Unfortunately, a bit too early for a fortifying glass of red:-)

Bonjour Philippe,

Les arbres cadrent bien le village. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des maisons et de l'église. La bonne luminosité rehausse la beauté des couleurs. Bonne journée.

Bonjour Philippe,

J'aimerais bien voir le vrai Saint Emilion un de ces jours, ne serait ce que pour y boire un de ses bons vins en ne le payant pas trop cher.Une belle visite de la France sans se taper les autoroutes.

Amicalement

Ciao Philippe
ricordo di aver letto di questo villaggio quando stavo studiando il mio percorso per il viaggio che ho fatto ad agosto, ma poi ho deciso di fare un altro percorso.
Si tratta comunque di un villaggio molto interessante e ricco di storia e di architetture.
Tra l'altro, li vicino, c'è una piccola città che si chiama come la mia Libourne (Livorno).
Saluti
Carlo

Salut Philippe,
Belle reconstitution en miniature d'un village que je connais bien ... aussi l'environnement de la végétation est ici bien différent du vrai st Emilion entouré par des collines plantées de rangs de vignes, belle lumière et parfaite netteté pour ta photo.

Bonjour Philippe.
A lovely photo of this delightful village in this wine region, one which has not been spoilt by commerce. You have captured the winter sunshine very well, and composed the shot so that the surrounding green and rolling fields provide a beautiful setting for the buildings.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi, Philippe,
Wow! Just a postcard! Or it could be a postcard from the tourists in this area. Thanks for this interesting note, I prefer Merlot and Cabernet to other kinds of grape. Excellent picture, thumbs up! Best wishes, Serghei

Hello Philippe,

This is a very well exposed and a very well composed photograph.
The town of St. Emillion, is crisp and clear and stands out clearly from the surrounding trees.

Wine produced at St. Emillion is of a high quality ... even if expensive inEngland!

Have a lovely w/e,
Bev :-)
