La Truffière Canon Fronsac Château Cassagne Haut-Canon 2010
This 2010 red wine from Château Cassagne Haut-Canon is produced from the La Truffière vineyard. Classified as an Appellation Canon-Fronsac Contrôlée, it was bottled directly at the estate by the owner, J.J. Dubois. The wine is a Grand Vin de Bordeaux with an alcohol content of 14.5%.
Located in France, Bordeaux is the world's most famous wine region, with a history of exporting wine that dates back to the Middle Ages. The legendary 1855 classification still ranks the leading châteaux of the area. While the left bank of the Gironde is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon on gravel soils, the right bank is the traditional domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Within this right bank lies Canon Fronsac, a small AOC in the Libournais district, situated immediately west of Pomerol and northwest of Saint-Émilion. The 2010 vintage in this region achieved a score of 98 points, recognized as a top vintage defined by power and precision.
Canon Fronsac forms the most prestigious core of the broader Fronsac area, located on limestone hills around the village. The local climate is characterized by Atlantic influences moderated by the water masses of the Dordogne river, providing mild temperatures and significant humidity. The soils consist primarily of clay and limestone over an asteries limestone bedrock, offering excellent drainage that favors Merlot-based wines. Red wines from this appellation are predominantly made from Merlot, typically supplemented by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and smaller amounts of Malbec. The area is widely recognized as an underrated source of Bordeaux red wines crafted in a Pomerol style.
