Plan a wine trip to Château Haut-Colombier — Femente builds the route.
Château Haut-Colombier sits in Blaye, on Bordeaux's right bank, where the Côtes de Bordeaux appellation produces wines of mineral precision and structure. The winery's white, a Sauvignon Blanc, carries the bright acidity and herbaceous character typical of the region's limestone soils. Its reds—Le Colombier, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend, and L'Envol, built on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot—reflect the classic Bordeaux framework of this terroir: firm tannins, dark fruit, and aging potential. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have all assessed the portfolio. The whites and reds alike express the cool-climate discipline of the right bank, where Merlot softens Cabernet's structure and Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift.
