This will gather under a \u201ccommon umbrella\u201d four appellations. C\u00f4tes de Bordeaux is a union of four appellations &#8211; the Premi\u00e8res C\u00f4tes de Blaye, Premi\u00e8res C\u00f4tes de Bordeaux, C\u00f4tes de Castillon and C\u00f4tes de Francs (formerly C\u00f4tes de Bourg) \u2013 which represents around 16 % of the total Bordeaux production with a surface of 32,000 acres and a volume of 700,000 hl.
