Description
Limestone ridges above the Dordogne River set the framework for the 2010 Chateau Moulin Pey-Labrie Canon Fronsac AOC, where elevation and exposure support Merlot driven blends and shape ripening patterns across the slopes. The estate is run with an emphasis on traditional right bank farming, including careful pruning, manual harvesting, and soil practices adapted to the clay limestone matrix that defines much of Canon Fronsac. Parcels vary in slope and soil depth, enabling selective picking decisions based on ripeness and vine age. Fermentation proceeds in temperature controlled vats, and élevage continues in French oak barrels selected to encourage gradual maturation. Within the property’s classical Canon Fronsac program, the wine reflects a measured approach to vineyard selection, restrained extraction, and patient barrel aging, serving as a reference for how Moulin Pey-Labrie aligns technical choices with the appellation’s geological structure.
