Discovering the wine region of Blaye
AOC Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux on the right bank of the Gironde opposite the Médoc (6,500 ha), clay-limestone soils, 240 days of sunshine. Merlot is the signature red (~70%): round and fruity with notes of plum, black cherry, blackberry, undergrowth, and a spiced touch, supple tannins and generous flesh — accessible young but with good aging potential. Cabernet Sauvignon (~20%) adds structure and blackcurrant notes, Malbec as complement. Dry whites from Sauvignon and Sémillon with citrus notes.
Discover the grape variety: Malbec
Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.
