Château Bel-Air La Royère
Château Bel-Air La Royère gives Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux a small-estate reading: organic farming, clay-limestone soils, amphorae, former Cognac barrels and historic varieties such as Castets and Malbec. The visit format is relaxed and educational rather than ceremonious, with vineyard and cellar context doing as much work as the tasting glass.
