La Jurade de Saint-Emilion in Britain

Saint-Emilion from the Tour du Roi

where, around its solid base, vines flourish in the heart of the City.


One of Saint-Emilion's steep "Tertres", still paved with English stone which went out as ballast
for ships of the mediaeval wine fleets.



Saint-Emilion from the South, with vines pressing up to the City walls.




The sun breaking through an early morning mist at Château Cantenac.





This photo and the next show the Jurade at the Tour du Roi on the Nuit de Patrimoine celebrating Saint-Emilion's heritage



and on the following day processing through the City,



to pronounce the Ban des Vendanges, from the Tour du Roi,



and so granting permission to growers to pick.
