The Montagne Saint-Emilion region enjoys a maritime climate with some Mediterranean influence, as shown by the presence of fig trees and holm oaks. Montagne Saint-Emilion is at the eastern end of the Bordeaux vineyard, which also brings some continental influence. The vineyard is the geographic continuation of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. The soils are generally clay-limestone or silty-clay on the plateau and the slopes, with a little sandy clay to the west of the region.

Roc is commonly used as the name for villages built on stone foundations. The name “roc” gives an impression of solidity, balance and heritage. The wines of Bordeaux are firmly based on French and Bordeaux tradition, wines made with the know-how of cultural heritage, viticulture and symbolic architecture.
