Vignobles Sullivan – Canon-Fronsac
Chateau Gaby is a stunning, historic château perched on top of a sloping limestone plateau and facing south over the river Dordogne. Its own park and 16 ha of rolling vineyards surround the château where low wooded hills and the lazy meanderings of the Dordogne meet. Lovingly restored, the interior of the château reflects the beauty of Bordeaux's prettiest countryside in which it is located.
Since 2013 they changed their process in the vineyard to have grapes from organic agriculture, followed by Ecocert. They are certified since 2016.
“Gaby is known for the finesse, concentration and excellent balance of acidity and tannin.
While their wine can age beautifully over 5-20 years, for those without patience to wait, they typically begin to show their great charm after 3-4 years.”

Canon-Fronsac « Princesse Gaby » 2016 75 cl 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet sauvignon Well-balanced with elegant flavors and fine tannins, the wine tastes of transformation. Strong on the nose with red fruits and licorice notes, Princess Gaby softens on the palate with a long finish and traces of vanilla. To add complexity, Princess Gaby is aged in barrels used to make the award-winning Château Gaby. The wine’s exceptional character is derived from Canon-Fronsac’s privileged climate, silica clay soil, and the expertise of a passionate team. At Château Gaby, we believe in pampering the grape as a whole fruit and respecting the environment. |
