As far as French history goes, the world heritage-listed town of Saint-Emilion literally steals the show.

We traveled here with Scenic as part of a 2 week French River cruising experience.

One of the beautiful things about traveling through France is its history and take Saint-Emilion for example its origins date back 35,000 years, which is fairly hard to fathom.

But its history like that the makes exploring this place such an experience.

The town sits in one of the main wine producing regions of Bordeaux, her streets are lined with Romanesque churches and prehistoric ruins; It really does feel like you've stepped back into the Middle Ages.

The monolithic church which was carved right into the rock face is the area's most well-known monument and its underground passageways were filled with all kinds of secrets.

So this cave is essentially the heart of Saint-Emilion as we get to see it today; See a young monk by the name of Emilion came down here to live and escape persecution and this is where he would meditate and just over here is his rocky bed where he would spend each night. What a crazy existence.

Exploring what's left of this ancient house of God let’s your imagination run wild.

From the dramatic ruins of Saint-Emilion Scenic take us to the quaint little town of Bergerac.

It's a beautiful snapshot into the 15th century, with the town sitting on the banks of the Dordogne River; trade ruled this area and its traditional food is still one of the major attractions, as long as you’re a fan of duck.

As our journey takes us through the beautiful region of Bordeaux, our chariot is the mighty Scenic Diamond.

This is definitely they way to check out Europe.

On board it's all about luxury and making sure your time here is as relaxing as possible. With all the trimmings of a five star hotel and everything included in the price, yep even the bar; this is your chance to live it up like royalty.

As wine is such a huge part of life in Bordeaux, it'll be a crime not to indulge.

The history dates back over 2,000 years.

Scenic give you every opportunity to experience the culture surrounding some of the best wines in the world.

With all these Australian’s around I hope there is plenty of wine in the cellars.

Cheers everyone!

Hope you’re all enjoying yourselves.

With Chateau Soutard as the backdrop, it's a perfect end to another beautiful day in France.

French Friday's: Château Ripeau (Grand Cru Classé) Vineyard in Saint-Émilion

French Friday's with Will Roadhouse: Located just an hour outside of Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion is one of the most beautiful ancient cities I've ever visited! The wines here in Chateau Ripeau (Grand Cru Classé) are one of the best wines I've ever tasted!!!

Chateau Ripeau has a long history in the appellation, with vines being planted in the 1700’s. The vineyard does not begin to gain notice until 1868. However, the modern era for Chateau Ripeau begins in 1917, when it was purchased by the family of a well-known Bordeaux wine negociant, Marcel and Marie Loubat. If the Loubat name sounds familiar to you, the answer is yes, they are from the same Loubat family that owned Petrus. Chateau Ripeau has remained in the same family since that time. Chateau Ripeau takes its name from parcel of land the vineyard and chateau are located on. The vineyard has good neighbors as the vines are not located not far from Chateau Cheval Blanc, Chateau Corbin and Chateau La Dominique and close to the Pomerol border.

The 15.3 hectare, Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Ripeau is planted to 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Located not far from La Dominique and Chateau Chauvin, the terroir is sand, gravel, limestone and clay with iron deposits in the soil. The average age of the vines is close to 35 years of age.
To produce the wine of Chateau Ripeau, the wine is vinified in temperature controlled, stainless steel vats. The wine is aged in 33% new, French oak barrels for between 12 and 16 months. On average 5,000 cases of Chateau Ripeau are produced every vintage. There is a second wine, La Garenne de Ripeau.

History of St. Emilion: St. Emilion could be the oldest active wine producing appellation in the Bordeaux region with a history that dates back to the times of the ancient Romans. Numerous Roman ruins are scattered all over the St. Emilion appellation. While St. Emilion claims credit for the being the home of the famous Roman poet and wine lover, Decimus Magnus Ausonius, (who served as the inspiration for the name of the now famous, Chateau Ausone) the area takes its name from a Benedictine Monk who was known as Emilian. Emilian lived in the area and is responsible for starting to create the uniquely designed, limestone church that is central the village of St. Emilion. Today, the village of St. Emilion is a protected, Unesco, world heritage site. St. Emilion also lays claim to having the oldest, wine society in France. The Jurade of St Emilion was formed in 1199! St. Emilion was the first region in Bordeaux to export their wines. Due to the ease of shipping taking place in the 14th century, with only a few vines scattered in the Medoc, St. Emilion wine was already being shipped to England at the request of King Edward. This date coincides with the founding of the commercial city of Libourne by the British. The city of Libourne has another connection with England, it was named Sir Roger de Leybourne from England.
