The wines of this appellation

As a general rule, Fronsac wines are deeply-coloured (vermilion red or deep ruby hue, occasionally turning a topaz shade with age), fat, fleshy and well-balanced, though at the same time supple and delicate with a distinctive flavour and bouquet. They are laying-down wines which develop aromas of pepper, spices and truffle.

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.
