Description

Bleu Roi Côtes de Bordeaux 2022 is crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on the limestone plateau of the Entre-deux-Mers region. These grapes lend the wine aromatic richness, nuances of red fruit, and a touch of spice. The wine carries the AOC designation Côtes-de-Bordeaux. This vintage highlights the potential of the clay-limestone soil, known for producing elegant and structured wines. The temperate climate, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, provides ideal conditions for ripening the grapes.
