Pomerol Region

There is no actual village of Pomerol, rather it is a commune extending from the port of Libourne on the north bank of the Dordogne river. Pomerol takes in the small villages of Catusseau, Cloquet, Grand- and Petit-Moulinet, Maillet, Pignon and René.

Pomerol's vineyards were first grown by the Romans. For many years Pomerol was not distinguished from the vineyards of St-Emilion to its east.
