Bordeaux’s under-the-radar Canon-Fronsac appellation sits just west of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. Those in the know love it for its deeply complex wines, available at a fraction of the cost of its famous neighbours. Now 8 years old, this velvety, Merlot-rich red shows lavishly rich dark plummy fruit with notes of mocha and smoky oak on a long, abundant finish.
