Description

Canon-Fronsac is an appellation for red wines produced in a small area in the east of the Bordeaux wine region. It is encompassed by the wider Fronsac appellation. Canon-Fronsac's southern boundary is marked by the Dordogne river and lies close to Libourne – the town that gives its name to the Libournais wine district. Libourne is home to prestigious appellations such as Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, as well as Canon-Fronsac.

Like Saint-Emilion, just a few miles to the east, Canon-Fronsac has a picturesque, gently hilly landscape made up of woodland, arable land and vineyards. It also has a rich history reaching back hundreds of years, when the area was much favored by French nobility.

Theoretically superior to those of the Fronsac appellation, Canon-Fronsac wines have long ranked among Bordeaux's most respected. As is standard for Bordeaux red wines, they are made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon may also be included in Canon-Fronsac blends, although it is less commonly used because it doesn't ripen as well in the cooler soils here.

Chateau Canon (Fronsac) is in the Canon Fronsac appellation, wines for this chateau made in limited quantities in good years only and very difficult to find.

Château Batailley is a winery in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. The wine produced at the estate was classified as one of eighteen Cinquièmes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.

Batailley's 1996 is a well-structured, old style Pauillac with a dense ruby/purple color, earthy, cedar-tinged, black currant fruit in the aromatics and flavors, medium body, an excellent mid-palate, good depth, and a moderately tannic, firm, but pure finish. This very good to excellent Batailley will keep for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020

Both wines are perfectly mature and ready for consumption.
