“A winery well worth discovering and keeping an eye on! ~ Decanter”
“A magnificent nose, with blackberry and blackcurrant jam. Good intensity on the palate, with a rush of dark fruit that arrives before spicy licorice joins the salty, mineral notes of the limestone terroir, lending texture and complexity. A serious, sculpted, and firm style, yet full of energy and dynamism. The texture is smooth, and it displays beautiful precision with a bright, juicy finish. A winery to seek out and keep an eye on.” (Decanter 2022)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 93/100
Rated estate (2020 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
A subtle, silky attack, with the palate consistently enveloped in refined texture. A very elegant wine with a crisp, refreshing finish.
About the estate:
The 4.5 hectares of this Canon-Fronsac, firmly planted on a terrace overlooking the Dordogne, were enthusiastically taken over by Jean-Francis Pécresse, director of Radio Classique: the estate, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt (a leading consultant on the Right Bank), has gained in fruitiness and refinement; here, the focus is on balance, tannic finesse, and depth. This wine deserves time to reach its full potential. It offers good value for money.

Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (2023 guide) 2* Stars (Outstanding wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
The Favorite selected for the 2019 vintage, which is made from 70% Merlot blended with Cabernet Franc. On the nose, an intense and luscious bouquet of red and black fruits unfolds, blended with minty and spicy notes. On the palate, full-bodied, generous, and smooth, it asserts its balance around a fleshy and lively fruitiness, supported by very elegant tannins. 2024–2030
About the estate:
The Pécresse family, former owners of the Grand Corbin and Trotanoy châteaux, has been at the helm of this estate for four generations. The 4.2-hectare estate, known until 2003 as Vray Canon Bodet-la-Tour, is now run by Francis and his son Jean-Francis.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A powdery tannin in a fully ripe wine that remains quite refined.
About the estate:
Before becoming director of Radio Classique and a columnist for Les Échos, Jean-Francis Pécresse was a winemaker. His ancestors, who came from Corrèze, had acquired a small vineyard on the Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac plateau, and he has always closely monitored its development. With guidance from Hannah Fiegenschuh (Derenoncourt nursery), the estate has been climbing the ranks year after year and began the transition to organic farming three years ago. Once an outsider among the great Fronsac producers, Canon Pécresse now stands alongside them, with an increasingly distinct expression of its terroir of weathered limestone; the wines combine charm, purity, and freshness.

About the wine:
Aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants, wild raspberries, and bark. Hints of pine cones and black olives as well. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Nicely full-bodied on the mid-palate. Best enjoyed starting in 2023.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
A clean, inviting nose—fresh and appealing—revealing the purity of red berries, with hints of blueberry pie. Smooth on the palate, easy to drink, and fresh, with a deliciously savory finish.
