The wine region of Fronsac
Bordeaux AOC on the right bank of the Dordogne at the gates of Libourne: Merlot reigns in red (~80%) with Cabernet Franc — intense, distinguished nose with signature notes of black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, plum, pepper and a spice box, full-bodied palate with firm yet never aggressive tannins evolving toward undergrowth, leather, tobacco and truffle, silky texture with age. AOC (1937), ~830 ha over 7 communes, hilly terroir of 'Fronsadais' limestone molasse and clay-limestone.
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: Dried
Said of a worn out red wine lacking flesh and volume.
