Insights
Located just five to the east of Saint Emilion, one of the most renowned regions in Bordeaux, Vieux Château des Combes is sited in the commune of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, not far from the highest point in the appellation. The name of the Domaine suggests that wine was already in production before Benedictine abbey was constructed in 17th century, with established vineyards spread out across the small hills historically referred to as Combes.
