A medieval hillside village in the Gironde surrounded by some of Bordeaux's most prestigious Grand Cru Classé vineyards, its limestone plateau riddled with cave cellars and a unique subterranean monolithic church carved from a single rock. The cobblestone streets and Romanesque collegiate church tower are framed by classified vineyards on every approach. Wine tourism is central to the local economy, with numerous cave tours and tastings available year-round.
