    • LES CORDELIERS have been producing sparkling wines in Saint-Émilion since 1892 using the traditional method, in white and rosé, brut and demi-sec, in the underground cellars of the Cordeliers cloister.

      The Cordeliers Cloister, located in the heart of the medieval town of Saint-Émilion (33), is an architectural masterpiece dating from the 14th century. Listed as a Historic Monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the most famous buildings in Saint-Émilion.

      It welcomes 700,000 wine tourism visitors each year, as well as numerous private events.

      20 meters underground, in the 3 km long galleries, the sparkling wines LES CORDELIERS are aged.

      Made from the most prestigious Bordeaux grape varieties and produced using the traditional "champenoise" method, LES CORDELIERS wines produce extremely fine bubbles and showcase their fruity aromas, with flavor and lightness.

      The estate offers guided tours of these underground quarries, which are punctuated by a tasting of vintage wines.

      The site has a wine, cocktail and spirits bar and offers a catering service in the form of picnic baskets as well as an artisanal ice cream stand, all to be enjoyed in the shaded gardens.

      Also take advantage of the “Cordeliers Breaks”!

      These are friendly and relaxed electronic evenings during which a collective of DJs will mix.

      EVENING HOURS:
      Afterwork evenings, free and open to all: (100% family friendly, 100% dog friendly)

      • Every Friday evening from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
      • Every Saturday evening from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.


      During these evenings, you can enjoy a Cordeliers picnic basket, cocktails made with our crémant, or simply glasses of crémant.

    Camille showed us around the church and the cellars, and you could feel her great involvement; it was very enjoyable. The wine tasting and macarons were great. We recommend this place if you visit Saint-Émilion.

  • "Nice cloister"

    4 / 5 Reviews posted by Tanmouss (Oslo, Norway) on 26/06/2025

    Cloisters are beautiful, and this one has an entry to the cathedral and an exit to the street. It probably is not the prettiest I've seen but it is worth the (free) detour.
