Fronsac
Fronsac is no longer the poor cousin to its grander neighbours Pomerol and Saint Emilion, where it lost huge market share through lack of global marketing. Investment is now fivefold as producers look for the next opportunity and La Dauphine and Moulin Haut Laroque confirm the excellence in this region in 2023.
