Berson, a wine-growing village in the Blayais

Berson is a commune of about 2,000 inhabitants located in the Blayais region, a few kilometers south of the citadel of Blaye, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The village is surrounded by vineyards of the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux and Bordeaux appellations. Its landscape of wine-growing hills, facing the Gironde estuary, offers clear views of the left bank and the Médoc. Berson retains an authentic rural heritage with its stone houses, wine cellars, and Romanesque church.
