Premieres Cotes de Blaye Wine

Blaye is an historic town, about 20 miles (32km) to the north of Bordeaux city, occupying the northern end of the Bordeaux wine region’s ‘right bank’. Slightly higher, and hillier, than the land just across the Gironde, Blaye and its vineyards lend a picturesque element to Bordeaux’s landscapes. Historically it has been home to three appellations; AOC Blaye, AOC Cotes de Blaye and AOC Premieres Cotes de Blaye - all created in 1936 and revised in the 1990s. At present, there are a number of changes being made in the structure of the Bordeaux appellation system which will change the way that Blaye’s wines are categorized and labeled.

AOC Premieres Cotes de Blaye covers both red and white wines. Reds must be made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, while whites must be made principally from Semillon, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc. Merlot Blanc, Colombard and Ugni Blanc are also permitted in small quantities. Premieres Cotes de Blaye wines will soon fall under the Cotes de Bordeaux appellation created in 2009.

Although Blaye has been producing wines for far longer than its more prestigious cousins to the south and west, it fell victim long ago to the harsh facts of commercialism. The area’s particular position on the Gironde estuary leads its shores to silt up heavily, which made access difficult for trading ships: Bordeaux’s glory as a whole has risen and fallen on the health of its exports, subject to both geographical and political factors.

Despite a certain lack of limelight, Blaye has adapted to changing consumer trends. In the early 20th century, the now less fashionable Ugni Blanc variety was Blaye’s most widely planted variety (grown for distillation), whereas the area’s more modern, full-bodied red wines are now gaining recognition, and satisfying the market for affordable, quality Bordeaux wine.
