Libourne is a French city about 50 km northeast of Bordeaux. It is near Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, both known for their wines. It is located on the river Dordogne where the Isle joins it. It was created as a bastide by Roger de Leybourne in 1270. The name transformed a little. Its original aim was to be a port to ship wine.
