Now, where is this alluring Médoc wine region? We weave and coil our way on narrow riverside
roads, to find it wedged between the Atlantic coastline and the broad Gironde Estuary-essentially
the tip of a peninsula.

The Citadel of Blaye is a 17th century fortress in the town of Blaye. Located on the right bank of the Gironde Estuary - some 56km north of Bordeaux, France. A small ferry crosses the Gironde to Lamarque in Medoc. King Louis XIV ordered the Marquis de Vauban to build the fortress in order to protect Bordeaux from attack. Blaye became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
