The wine region of Premières Côtes de Blaye
Bordeaux right bank facing the Médoc (Gironde estuary): signature Merlot as the royal red (~70%) — fleshy and fruity with notes of cherry, ripe plum, blackberry, red fruits and a hint of sweet spice, round tannins and velvety indulgence, signature accessibility. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc add structure. Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle in fresh dry whites. AOC (1938, merged into Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux in 2008), clay-limestone hillsides.
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
