You must visit the Blanchez company, in Saint-Emilion itself, to get your hands on one.
Saint-Emilion is bursting with treasures which you will discover as you travel through it. As you walk among the vineyards, you can enjoy the simple pleasure of the city’s view, perched on its headland. But by wandering through this medieval city, you will start to notice a sugary scent. It is the Saint-Emilion macaroons. Apart from the wines which give it its worldwide fame, Saint-Emilion has also been built on the production of macaroons since the 17th century, whose creation can be attributed to Ursulines of the time. Made from egg whites, sugar and almonds, these little discs are tasty when eaten on their own or as part of a wine tasting.
