Bordeaux
 

 
 

Côtes de Bourg

Côtes de Bourg is located on the right bank of the Dordogne at the point where it meets the Gironde river.

South of Blaye, the small appellation around the village of Bourg produces a better medium-body red wine than its neighbor. The wine from Côtes de Bourg is quite tannic with strong aromas of red fruits.
