Canon-fronsac

Situated between the windings of the rivers Isle, Dordogne and Saye, where windmills one beat their sails, the Fronsac region is a charming, smiling countryside. Next door to Libourne, the region's 18 communes form the canton of Fronsac.

The wines of Canon-Fronsac are essentielly wines from the Côtes. They are colored with a brillant, very sustained vermilion or ruby. As they age, they sometimes take on topaz tints, the sign of great limestone terroir. On the nose, they are powerful and elegant, developping aromas of red fruit to which may be added the fragrance of pepper, spices, sometimes even truffes. On the palate, they are fleshy, flat and soft.

Depending of their origins, they may be drunk yound and will be appreciated with grills, breast of duck, or venison stew. But as wines for cellaring, they are well-balanced with good backbone and their tannins develop over time becoming velvety and exhaling suave perfumes. Then, they are marvelous match for roast or preserved meats and fowl.
