The wine region of Blaye - Côtes de Bordeaux
Right bank of the Gironde facing the Médoc (45 km north of Bordeaux) on hills overlooking the estuary: signature Merlot reigns in reds (~85%) — round and fruity with ripe plum, black cherry, blackberry, red fruits and a spicy touch, coated tannins and aromatic breadth. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec complement. Ageing 5-15 years. Some dry Sauvignon-Sémillon whites.
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: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
