Château Mazeris 2020

Château Mazeris is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the Fronsac hills, a district on the Dordogne once more highly prized than the neighbours that now overshadow it.

Fronsac and its inner enclave of Canon-Fronsac sit on a series of steep limestone hills above the river, a short way west of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. The plateau is capped with the same molasse and limestone that runs beneath the Saint-Émilion escarpment, and the slopes face in every direction, which gives growers a useful range of exposures to work with. Merlot is the mainstay, as it is across the Right Bank, but Cabernet Franc has a long history in these hills and takes a larger share in some of the older vineyards than it does elsewhere in the district. Holdings are small and mostly family owned, and the wines are built on structure rather than early charm.

It goes well with braised beef, duck confit or a mature cheese, and is worth decanting when young.
