Roc du Bel Air - Bordeaux Blanc

Roc is commonly used as the name for villages built on stone foundations. The name "roc" gives an impression of solidity, balance and heritage. The wines of Bordeaux are firmly based on French and Bordeaux tradition, wines made with the know-how of cultural heritage, viticulture and symbolic architecture.

Bordeaux is the largest vineyard for appellation wines in the whole of France. Situated in the South West near the Atlantic, it is crossed by the rivers Garonne and Dordogne and enjoys a temperate maritime climate. The richness, the quality and the diversity of its wines derive from the particular character of the terroirs, the experience of the winegrowers and the art of blending. Wines of the Bordeaux Sec appellation combine the fruit of the Sauvignon with the roundness of Sémillon in a well-balanced blend. A regional appellation covering the entire vineyard zone of the Gironde department.
