Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux Wine Region

“Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux, a modern and dynamic appellation whose wines are accessible and friendly as its winegrowers. To sum it up – outstanding!” Franck Jullion, President Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux is a Bordeaux appellation on the right bank of the Gironde (opposite Pauillac), centred on the town of Blaye. The area is hillier than the Médoc, rising to a height of over 70m above sea level. The soil is mostly clay over limestone. Red wine is made predominantly from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with small quantities of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carménère. As part of the Côtes de Bordeaux, Blaye vineyards are predominately on slopes. The region is known for quality wine at a value price. 

A young and switched-on appellation, the wines and the growers are approachable and friendly. Through its dynamism and its modernity, it is the appellation that likes to get noticed!

The French Wine Project has forged relationships with family-run vineyards to continue bringing you the very best wines from the region.
