Corinne Chevrier – Manager and Winemaker of Château Bel-Air La Royère
In 1992, the Chevrier family, fourth-generation winemakers, fell under the spell of this old Gironde estate located in Cars, in the heart of the Blaye-Côtes-de-Bordeaux appellation. With courage and passion, Corinne undertook the complete restoration of the vineyard and buildings, breathing new life into the estate. Coming from a line of cognac producers, she draws on her roots but chose to forge her own path. Her choices shape the strong identity of Bel-Air La Royère:

● 1995: reintroduction of Malbec, which she calls "the illegitimate child of the Bordeaux vineyards."

● 2019: official conversion to organic farming, the result of a long-standing commitment to the environment.

● Experimentation with new aging methods, such as amphorae and cognac casks.

● More recently, the reintroduction of Castets, a forgotten Bordeaux grape variety, to further enrich the estate's diversity.

Today, Corinne is recognized for her elegant and bold wines, an expression of a perfect symbiosis between tradition and innovation.
