Château La Croix de Guillot

Blaye – Côtes de Bordeaux

History

Situated in the Charente region of the Gironde, Blaye is well protected by the citadel designed by Vauban. Its many valleys are in stark contrast to the marine-like landscape next to the estuary.

The red wines of the Premières Côtes de Blaye come solely from 4 grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. These red wines have a very pleasant bouquet, and they know how to blend power and fruitiness.
