Vignobles Famille André Lurton is one of Bordeaux's best-known family-owned wine producers, with a history stretching back more than five generations.

The BLA BLA range was created to offer approachable, fruit-forward wines that celebrate classic French grape varieties in a fresh, contemporary style.

Sourced from vineyards across southern France, these wines focus on purity of fruit, balance and easy-drinking appeal.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot form the heart of the range, with careful temperature-controlled fermentation preserving vibrant fruit character.

Combining decades of winemaking expertise with a relaxed philosophy, the Lurton family has created a collection that proves quality French wine can be both accessible and full of personality.

Vin de France is not a single geographical wine region, but rather a national classification introduced in 2010 for wines that fall outside France’s stricter AOC or IGP rules. This flexible category allows winemakers to source grapes from anywhere in the country, encouraging creativity and innovation. As a result, Vin de France wines reflect the full diversity of France’s climates — from the cool, maritime Atlantic coasts to the sun-drenched Mediterranean and the continental interiors.

The category permits both indigenous and international grape varieties and wine styles are equally broad. Essentially, Vin de France offers winemakers freedom and consumers approachable wines that express both French heritage and modern winemaking vision.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most widely planted and celebrated red grape varieties, known for its deep colour, firm tannins, and remarkable ageing potential. Originating in Bordeaux, France, as a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, it has become a global benchmark for structured, full-bodied red wines.

Viticulturally, Cabernet Sauvignon is a hardy, late-ripening grape that thrives in warm, sunny climates. It produces small, thick-skinned berries, contributing to its bold tannic structure and deep colour. The vine is relatively resistant to disease and adapts well to diverse soils, making it suitable for a wide range of terroirs.

Today, Cabernet Sauvignon is planted extensively across the world—from its French homeland in Bordeaux’s Left Bank, to California’s Napa Valley, Chile’s Maipo Valley, Australia’s Coonawarra, and South Africa’s Stellenbosch. It often forms the backbone of blends, particularly in Bordeaux-style wines, but also shines as a varietal expression.

Flavour profiles typically include blackcurrant (cassis), blackberry, mint, cedar, and tobacco, often developing notes of leather, earth, and spice with age. Styles range from fruit-forward and plush in warmer climates to structured and herbal in cooler ones. Cabernet Sauvignon’s power, elegance, and longevity make it a cornerstone of fine red winemaking worldwide.
