The appellation “CÔTES de BLAYE” appearing in most former and prestigious family of the high-class Wines of Bordeaux, extends on right side of the Gironde estuary. Halfway between Bordeaux and Royan, Saint Ciers /Gironde is characterized by contrasts between marsh and slopes.

The vineyard enjoys a privileged exposure thanks to its slope oriented to the sun side that shelters it from the North wind; the field is on a argilo-gravelly ground which confers on the wine a remarkable unique taste. The county side is based on a Gallo-Roman habitat which seems to have been occupied during the Early Roman Empire and discovered at the end of the XX century.






The type of vines are those traditional of Bordeaux as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Frank for the red wines and as Sauvignon and Muscadelle for the white wines.
As a traditional winegrower since several generations, with the know-how he built and the love of his work, Christian BLANCHET is giving to his wine a particular subtlety, its own “Wine Signature” as he call it.






The medals and the awards attributed each year in the specialized press have value of confirmation that its Wine Signature is valuated as one of the best within the Côtes de Blaye county.

From 1994, the wines are aged in oak barrels. The red wines, ruby very sinks and shining, are marked by a red fruit and under wood taste; they have a fruity and fresh savour with molten tannins. They are put out of vats approximately a year. They are subject to a very serious follow-up with regular rakings. Concrete vats confer a major color and develop a final taste of black fruits accompany by timbers molten. This wine, aged, grid and round are marked with silky tannins.
