On the revered clay-limestone slopes of Saint-Emilion, Roman soldiers, who having received parcels of land as war bounty, exchanged their swords and spears for pickaxes and sickles. Galius was among the first Roman soldiers to settle in the region. Named after him, this gorgeous wine shows a silky smoothness with lovely ripe tannins, charming and elegant with a wonderfully long finish.
