 | Fronsac has long enjoyed the reputation for producing deeply aromatic, medium-bodied red wines. Located to the east of Bordeaux, the soil characteristics are similar to St Émilion. The Chaudet vineyard has an established reputation for excellence since 1560. Cepages: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon About the Producer: Château Canevault, an award winning vineyard located on the Dordogne, prides itself on its traditional methods of vinification. After hand harvesting, the grapes are vinified then oak-aged for 6 to 12 months. The wine is filtered using egg whites, bottled, then allowed to age in subterranean caves for 18 months. The Chaudets create a wine that truly deserves the name 'grand vin.' Recommended Food Pairings: This is a very 'food friendly' wine which pairs exceptionally well with beef, lamb, duck, fowl, and cheeses, whether the meats are simple roasted or grilled, or served with sauces.
Tasting Notes: A deep colored red with an intriguing bouquet, this well structured wine presents supple tannins and the flavors of red fruits. |
