Chateau de la Riviere, Fronsac

The 2004 vintage is initially firm, but ripe fruit comes through on the complex mid-palate. The largest estate in Fronsac and one of the most imposing buildings in the whole region, including eight hectares of cellar carved into limestone, la Riviere is renowned for their old vines and ecologically sensitive vineyard management.
