Description

The Gironde Estuary, stretching for 75 kilometers, is lined with vineyards producing the great wines of the Médoc, the wines of Bourgeais and Blayais, as well as the famous cognac and pineau from Charente-Maritime. The light and warmth of its silty waters promote the flourishing of vines, while the estuary has served for centuries as a major commercial route for Bordeaux wines.

Navigating the estuary or traveling along the wine routes, heritage and wine enthusiasts discover a succession of wine estates with elegant facades. These prestigious "châteaux" mingle with a more modest but rich heritage: towns and villages, ports, wine cellars, cooperages, barrel factories, and vineyard huts reveal the history of a territory shaped by vine cultivation.

This book highlights the diversity of this heritage, from architecture to landscape specifics, blending tradition and modernity, from the Old Regime to the present day, providing a visual portrait of a globally renowned wine region.
