Region and Appellation Information
Bordeaux

Region – Bordeaux

Situated in the beautiful South-West of France, Bordeaux is one of the country's largest wine-growing areas, covering over 125,000 hectares. With the Atlantic to the west, its coastal temperatures are moderated by the Gulf Stream, making it an ideal place for vines to thrive. The region produces a staggering 900 million bottles a year, ranging from large quantities of common Vin de Pays to some of the most prestigious and expensive wines in the world.

Appellation – Fronsac

An historic Right Bank appellation in the Libournais district of Bordeaux, set on hills and plateaus overlooking the Dordogne, around ten kilometres west of Saint-Émilion. Dedicated to dry red wine, it is built chiefly on Merlot, blended with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on the region's characteristic sandstone and limestone soils. The wines are deep ruby in colour, full-bodied and fresh, with moderately firm tannins, showing red berry, violet, and graphite character, and age gracefully.
