Fronsac

Fronsac, also on the Right Bank, produces heftier, weightier wines than Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. Lying just west of Saint-Emilion, it is not dissimilar in aspect, but the soils have more limestone, and are more resistant to heat. The merlot is the predominant grape here, often blended with Cabernet Franc – the soils are not very suitable for the Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen. It is one of the few areas, where Malbec is also regularly used in the blend.

Historically the wines were burlier and less complex, but recent years have seen strong investment in the area, and Fronsac, and the premium Canon – Fronsac now offer superb quality wines, at more affordable prices than Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.

Chapoutier Wines
Chapoutier is a long-established Rhone Valley wine producer with roots going back to 1808, where it was first established as 'Calvet et Compagnie'.

Delepine retired in 1922 and Chapoutier took the reigns, creating a new winery at the foot of the famous Hermitage hill. Since then it has remained in family hands, with Michel Chapoutier at the helm who has…

Sustainability focus: Bordeaux
This blog might well be for the real enthusiasts as it is based off my research essay I submitted for my Diploma qualification recently. So, all I have to say is, good luck! But, in all truth, this topic is very prevalent in the wine world and gives a real insight into changing vineyard and winemaking practices. Environmental impacts are fast becoming a key concern for consumer and producer alike as the effects of climate change have increased over the past few decades, if you couldn’t tell (how…
