Château Monconseil-Gazin
Not far from the 17th-century citadel of Blaye is Plassac, a small wine-producing commune whose land has been renowned for vine growing since Roman times - long before vines were planted in the Médoc. It is here on the gentle slopes above the village that we find Château Monconseil-Gazin, where, legend has it, Charlemagne once held council.
The château was built around 1500 and since 1894 five generations of the Baudet family have produced quality wine here. Jean-Michel Baudet is one of an elite group of winemakers who have been working hard for many years to realise their dream of creating a new appellation - AOC Blaye. Their hard work paid off, and the 2000 vintage was the first to bear the name of the new appellation.
Jean-Michel Baudet and his wife Françoise both speak good English and enjoy welcoming Partners to their domaine.
