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: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
