Fronsac is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) from the prestigious Bordeaux wine region in France. Nestled on the right bank of the Dordogne, this appellation benefits from an exceptional terroir, with its clay-limestone soils and an ideal exposure for viticulture. Fronsac wines are primarily made from Merlot grapes, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, offering a rich aromatic palette.

Fronsac wines are distinguished by their pronounced tannic structure and ageing potential. They reveal intense aromas of red and black fruits, liquorice, and spices, often accompanied by subtle mineral notes. Their fleshy and balanced palate promises a remarkable sensory experience.

For wine enthusiasts and collectors, optimal cellar management is essential to preserve the quality of these crus. Using a wine cellar management app can greatly facilitate the tracking of Fronsac bottles, enabling inventory optimisation and identifying the best tasting periods. In essence, Fronsac is a Bordeaux treasure that deserves special attention from any discerning oenophile.
