Château Mazeris, Canon Fronsac 2019
The Wine
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc - juice sees two pump overs per day during maceration. Selected and indigenous yeast. Wines then go through malolactic fermentation and age in barrique. Minimal filtration and fining.
Bright and deep in color with hints of purple, this wine offers an expressive nose featuring fruity notes of cherry and a backdrop of tobacco. Fresh palate, delicate tannins, and a satisfying length - Drinking a treat now but will sit and develop happily in the cellar for some years to come - SUPER VALUE!
91 Pts James Suckling 'Shows ripeness and power on the nose with ripe dark berries and volcanic salt. Full body, soft and rich tannins and a long, flavorful finish.'

About the Wine Maker 
Owned and operated by the Cournaund family since 1805, Château Mazeris was originally established in 1769 and is located 40 km north-east of Bordeaux, in the heart of the AOC Canon-Fronsac, neighbouring the AOC of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.
The Chateau sits on 19 hectares at the top of the hill in Saint Michel de Fronsac, the very heart of AOC Canon-Fronsac. Its proximity to the confluent waters of both the Dorgogne and the Isle Rivers add temperature moderation (cool/cold nights throughout the year). Soil structures are ideal for Merlot production – 12 hectares sit on a south-facing chalk plate slope directly in front of the Dordogne River. There are also 7 ha of calcareous clay soils, one 3.5 ha slope facing east and one facing west. A small portion of the eastern slope is planted to Cabernet Franc, which accounts for a small percentage of the blend of each of the three labels (80% of Mazeris’ total production is Merlot.).
Château Mazeris was featured in the first edition of the Cocks & Féret Guide 1849.
