Fronsac is a small AOC in the middle of Merlot country -- not too far from Pomerol and St. Emilion. Though the winery has been established for centuries, La Vieille Cure has changed hands a few times. Since 2018, it has been operated by owner Jérôme Pignard and cellar master Frédéric Labatut, who make the most of their 50+ year-old vines. 2020 is a blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering a chewy, fleshy, robust, purple-plummy wine with licorice, mocha, red fruit, and structured tannins. This is a serious Bordeaux for under $40.
