Jean-Luc Thunevin's Canon Fronsac: Right Bank Elegance with a Kick

The BAD BOY CANON FRONSAC is the sophisticated Right Bank creation from Bordeaux's celebrated 'Bad Boy,' Jean-Luc Thunevin. While the original Bad Boy is a popular Bordeaux, this Canon Fronsac expression elevates the line, showcasing the power and refinement of this esteemed appellation. The clay-limestone terroirs of Canon Fronsac lend a profound structure and depth, resulting in a wine that is both instantly appealing and eminently age-worthy.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Appearance: A deep, ruby-garnet colour that speaks of concentration.
• Aroma: Richly aromatic, offering concentrated black fruit (cassis, dark cherry, plum) intertwined with subtle hints of graphite, liquorice, and a gentle spicy toast from the barrel ageing.
• Palate: Generous and full, with beautifully polished, silky tannins providing a refined structure. The wine balances its fruit concentration with a refreshing backbone of acidity, ensuring a long, memorable finish.
• Ageing Potential: Excellent. This wine is built to last and will reward cellaring for up to a decade.

Serving Suggestions & Pairing

A classic Right Bank red, best served slightly cool at 16-17°C. We recommend decanting this particular cuvée to soften the tannins and enhance the aromatic complexity.

• Food Pairings: Traditional Sunday Roast Beef, Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), or a robust mature Stilton cheese.
