The wine region of Canon-Fronsac
Confidential Libournais AOC (~250 ha, 40 properties around Fronsac and Saint-Michel): signature Merlot as red king (80%) complemented by Cabernet Franc (15%, elegance and spice) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%, structure and black fruits) — signature colour profile, round texture and aromatic complexity from Merlot, roundness and ripe red fruits, floral freshness and spicy notes from Cabernet Franc. Asteriated limestone and Fronsadais molasse, tempered fluvial microclimate.
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
