Château du Haut-Plateau Montagne Saint-Emilion

Lying between the villages of Pomerol and St-Emilion vineyards, Château du Haut Plateau has been family owned for three generations. The appellation of Montagne St-Emilion has developed a reputation for producing wines of exceptional value, offering similar characteristics to its famous neighbours, but at a substantially cheaper price.
