Description: Brief history of this commune north of Libourne and notes about the wines.
Pomerol's history goes back a long way. The plateau was crossed by two Roman road's, one of which was used by the poet Ausonius to go to his villa, Lucaniac. In the 12th century, the hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem established their first commandery in the Libourne as well as a hospice, or special stopping place for pelgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The vineyards were distroyed during the Hundred Years' War, replanted in the 15th and 16th centuries, and have been famous for quality ever since the latter half of the 19th century.
