AOC Canon Fronsac wines awarded at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge

A.O.C./A.O.P.

In the Libourne area only two villages are entitled to carry the Canon-Fronsac appellation – Fronsac and Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac – and even then, the grapes can only come from specific vineyard sites. The vines (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec) are planted on hillside sites where the soils are calcareous clay or clay-sand on a limestone bedrock.

Grape varieties: Vins rouges : Cabernet-sauvignon, Cabernet franc, merlot, malbec

The wines of this appellation

Canon-Fronsac wines (exclusively reds) are on the whole deeply-coloured, fat, fleshy wines whilst at the same time revealing suppleness and elegance with a delicate, slightly spicy flavour and a distinctive bouquet. With good cellaring potential, they develop aromas of red fruits, pepper, spices and truffle. They pair well with marinated or roast meats, preserved duck or goose, poultry and pears cooked in wine.

Climate-fit vines: How South African producers are planning for a drought-resilient future
The irony of our time is that we believe it's us who are evolving – integrating AI, refining systems, improving what exists. Yet nature's intelligence runs deeper, and the vine has been perfecting survival far longer than we've been trying to improve it.

Cognac stands firm
Since 2020 and the onset of the pandemic, the Cognac industry has been rocked by one crisis after another. Cash flow has been bled dry, transactions have dwindled and prospects are pretty lacklustre in its two key markets, the United States and China. For all that, Cognac has lost nothing of its global aura. And as the industry members we spoke to confirmed, there are reasons for hope, particularly for those active in France and Europe.
