Appearance
Our neo-gothic château isn’t just a backdrop; it’s the soul of our estate. For generations, it has stood watch over the vineyards of Blaye. Our deepest commitment is to the land itself—to rescuing forgotten vines and nurturing them back to health using sustainable practices. This cuvée, 1856, is a testament to that mission. It’s more than wine; it’s a taste of the unique terroir we fiercely protect and a bottle filled with the history of this special place.
