Château le Cône Taillasson de Lagarcie
Château le Cône Taillasson de Lagarcie sits in Premières Côtes de Blaye, the northern reach of Bordeaux's right bank. The estate works the classic Bordeaux blend: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, varieties that thrive in this maritime-influenced corner of the Côtes de Bordeaux. The flagship Blaye—Côtes de Bordeaux bottling, a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, has drawn attention from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. A second offering under the Premières Côtes de Blaye designation, built from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, rounds the portfolio. Both wines reflect the region's character: structured reds with the mineral spine and moderate alcohol that define the cooler northern Bordeaux terroir.
