Canon Fronsac, Libournais

Château Mazeris-Bellevue

Canon-Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (15%), Cabernet Sauvignon (14%) and Malbec (1%). Medium ruby core that turns more garnet closer to the rim. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit with hints of tar and roasted coffee. Flavors of red cherry, raspberry, black currant, figs,and mocha. Just a touch of baking spices on the long finish. Satiny texture and very fine tannins. Medium bodied and very soft. Good example of where proper aging can benefit a wine. Solid. Thanks for sharing, Chris B. — 9 months ago

Château Les Trois Croix

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

The 2015 BDX continue to amaze and this Fronsac fits the bill. No decanting necessary. Jumping out of the bottle with beautiful red fruit and cassis notes, silky, and nicely balanced and integrated tannins, at such a young age, I am amazed. Feels like drinking a Grand Cru from a slightly lesser vintage. Great value too. If I can find it, I’ll buy a case. Hopefully two. — 6 years ago

Château Hauchat

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Rich smell of dark Cherry, Plum, Bramble, Herbs and slightest oak.
Very well balanced the wine with nose characteristics transitioning to taste with layer of chocolate intersecting between fruits and herbs. Length is satisfying. 🍷

Château Fontenil

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Upon opening I got slapped in the face with spoiled milk. With time it has subsided. Nose now is licorice, flint, wet leaves, clove, white pepper, very faint blueberry pie but it's waning. Drink 'em if you've got 'em. Out of balance a bit for me, tannins are sharp, bitterness on the finish. 0 for 2 tonight. And, after a closer look it's even a bit cloudy.
