About the winery
Canon-Fronsac is often called the Tuscany of Bordeaux because it is the most hilly part of the region. The vineyards for Strong Arms are at the very top of the hill and share the same soil as its rich neighbors St. Emillion and Castillon. The micro-climate is perfect for ripening Merlot and Cabernet Franc delivering ripeness and structure with silky tannins. The vines undulate with perfect exposure and surely must be one of the hidden gems of Bordeaux. There is a forest next door with truffles and a lake right in the middle of the vines.
