The Fronsac appellation is located in Bordeaux on the Right Bank of the Dordogne river, a few kilometers to the west of Libourne. Fronsac lies to the west of the prestigious Saint-Emilion and Pomerol appellations. This appellation offers wines with a distinguished heritage and exceptional quality.

 

Fronsac benefits from a diverse and unique terroir featuring limestone plateaus and clay-limestone slopes. These soils coupled with the temperate climate provide ideal conditions for vine growth. 

 

Merlot is the dominant grape variety completed by Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend creates wines with lush fruit profiles and refined structure. Fronsac wines are recognized for their deep ruby color and complex aromas of black fruits. These wines have a good aging potential often developing greater complexity over 8 to 15 years. 

 

The Fronsac appellation is a testament to the diversity and quality of Bordeaux’s right bank. Fronsac deserves recognition among wine enthusiasts for its distinctive character and excellent value. 

 

The best renowned estates are : Château de La Dauphine, Château Dalem, Château La Vieille Cure, Château Fontenil, Château de la Rivière, Château Les Trois Croix, Château Haut-Carles, Château Carlmagnus.
