Le Bouchon, Saint-Emilion

The first night we dinned at Le Bouchon (3 Place du Marche, St. Emilion 33330), in the picturesque and medieval town of Saint-Emilion. They have tables both outside (in the square) as well as inside. The food was very good but not exceptional or memorable. The house wine (Saint-Emilion!) was nice, Chateau Bernateau 2004, with good bouquet, terroir, fruit and balance. The square is not invaded by tourists like other European cities, which makes it peaceful and enjoyable.
