Fronsac

The two appellations Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac, situated along the river Dordogne, cover seven villages including 106 wine producers and 840 hectares of vines. They both benefit from the same particularities of the Fronsadais, which are rich limestone and clay soils. Ancient sea fossils and chalk dominate the type of soil on the plateau, while the vines on the riverside grow on the famous sandstone of Fronsac.
