Wine in Fronsac

The oldest bottles labeled Chateau Moulin Haut Laroque date from the vintage 1890, and the Herve's family still owns a few bottles! The vineyard of 39,56 acres is probably the one that has most very old vines in the region.

Chateau Barrabaque is a small, 9 hectare estate located on the right bank of the river Gironde in Fronsac – Canon-Fronsac. The vines are located on south-facing slopes and are mainly planted with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Dynamic winemaker Caroline Barroux is one of the rising stars of the appellation and combines both traditional and modern techniques of cultivation and winemaking to produce high quality wines. There is a minimum use of chemicals in the all aspects of production, Chateau Barrabaque are commited to protecting the environment. Vineyard management (de-budding, green pruning) allows the vineyards to produce optimum yields.

Constance and Stéphane Droulers, driven by the desire to create a prestige wine capable of rivalling with the finest of Bordeaux wines, launched Haut-Carles in 1994. It is the quintessential wine of the Domaine de Carles. Elaborated and matured to haute couture standards, in mostly all-new oak barrels, it enjoys a tightly-woven structure and entices with its opulence and suavity. Haut Carles, located in the Fronsac appellation in the Right Bank of Bordeaux is one of the older estates in the appellation. The actual Haut Carles chateau dates back to the 1400’s, when it was used as a fortress. You can easily visualize this due to the fortified towers that still remain. The property was originally owned by the De Carles family, which of course is where its name came from. The historic property is on the supplementary register of historical monuments in France.

Dark red fruit, plum, prune, some tar and smoke. Medium tannins, moderate acidity and a short to medium finish. Not overly complex but fairly satisfying.
