| Winery | The Fronsac appellation is on the right bank close to Saint Emilion, where the wines are dominated by Merlot. Château Puy Guilhem’s vineyard is situated in an elevated position of the appellation, atop high-quality soil composed of a mix of clay and silt, which imparts structure to the wine. The vineyard is managed sustainably without the use of herbicides. Cover grass crops are grown between the vines and worked with light tilling. |
