Chateau l’Apolline is a tiny grand cru vineyard in Saint-Emilion
located in the small commune of Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens. It is here that proprietors Philippe and Perrine Genevey have made their lovely red, in the most classic Saint-Emilion style, since 1996. The beautiful name “Apolline” belongs to their third daughter, and this family property exudes their care and attention.
The excellent soils and special microclimate are ideal for the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used in Chateau l’Apolline. The average vine age is 35 years, and no chemicals are used in the farming process, which enables the wine to truly reflect the terroir of St. Emilion. At only 2.8 hectares it is a very small vineyard, which in a vintage of relatively high yield still only produces 1,500 cases of the grand cru. |
