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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
