	Bernezac.com - Blaye, estuary of Gironde
		Blaye is 80 km, south of Royan, either by the scenic road which goes along the estuary, D25, D145, D255, by Meschers, Saint-Fort, Saint-Bonnet, Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde or by a faster route, D730, A10 then exit number 38 towards Blaye.
		On arriving at Blaye, the simplest way is to follow the signs for the "Citadel" and you will arrive on the long esplanade (cours de La Republique, cours de Lattre de Tassigny, cours Vauban, place de la Citadelle, cours du Port), which separates the town from the citadel.
		The port is situated to the south of the town.

	Blaye, Bordeaux wine growing region, France, Bordeaux Right Bank
		Blaye has a population of 5000 residents and my first sight of Blaye itself was the ubiquitous out of town supermarket, quickly followed by a cemetery rather disconcertingly situated right next door to the hospital!
		Blaye is dominated by the impressive 17th century citadelle, which is definitely worth a look around.
		Blaye is a surprisingly large AC, though the area is farm from a vineyard region, with only 15% of the available land given over the vines (though this still represents some 17,000-odd acres, which gives you an idea of the size of the whole area).

		Blaye, also a port city, is dominated by an important Vauban-inspired defensive fortification constructed between 1685 and 1689.
		To be labeled "Blaye tout court," the grapes will in the future be riper (11 degrees rather than 10.5 degrees), the harvest will be reduced (a base of 51 hl/ha in 2000 rather than 61 hl/ha) and in new plantations from a more concentrated number of vines per hectare (6,000 rather 4,500).
		Château Segonzac: Just north of Blaye, atop a hill commanding a fine view over the Gironde estuary, is a rather solid, square château with a mansard roof, constructed towards the end of the 19th century by the estate's founder, French Minister for Agriculture Jean Dupuy.

		A tiny winery located entirely in an ancient barn, too small to allow room for oak barriques so its wines are made entirely in stainless steel, Chateau La Bretonnière's wines are rarely seen outside France, only a relative handful of cases having been exported to Switzerland in a short-lived venture.
		I'm hoping he won't do anything to change the regional character of the fine Blaye wines he's already making here (and in another property he owns, Chateau Tour de Guiet in nearby Bourg); they're delicious and fine and deserve a wider audience.
		Blaye's main street is seen behind the vines, with the Gironde estuary lost in the mist at upper right.

		The citadel of Blaye is, in fact, a town that is one kilometre long, with a small population, which keeps it alive whilst still retaining its tranquillity.

		Usually twinned with its neighbour Bourg (see next month under Côtes de Bourg) this is one of the first areas in which the Romans decided to grow and produce wine at a time when the distance from the river — as a means of transport — was of crucial importance.
		Premières Côtes de Blaye, which comes in both colours, should ideally be a little fuller in flavour and ripeness and more classic in taste, thanks to the exclusive use of traditional Bordeaux grapes.
		To stay: Within the citadel in Blaye, the Hôtel-de-la-Citadelle, Place des Armes (05 57 42 17 10) with doubles from £50, is a mix of history and comfort with a splendid terrace overlooking the river.
