Leslie Kellen

Leslie ("Les") Kellen has lived in Blaye for 25 years. He and his partner, Clarissa, an internationally esteemed artist and winemaker, have played a significant role in promoting oenotourism in the town. They're the creators of a number of significant 'firsts' in Blaye - its only art gallery, the only winery in the town centre, the first regular live-music venue at La Petite Cave wine bar, and the Legend Wine Tour, for the growing number of tourists who flock to the town from all over the world.
