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.
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.
