Fronsac Merlot and Cabernet Franc from Bordeaux's mineral-rich Right Bank.

Château Dalem sits in Fronsac, a compact appellaton within Bordeaux's Libournais region known for structured, mineral-driven reds. The estate produces wines built on Merlot and Cabernet Franc—grapes that thrive in Fronsac's clay-limestone soils and cool microclimates. The flagship Fronsac blends these varieties into a wine that has drawn assessment from Falstaff, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. Tentation de Dalem, a secondary expression, offers a Cabernet Franc–led take on the same terroir. Both wines reflect the region's character: earthy depth, moderate alcohol, and the kind of tannin structure that rewards patience. Fronsac remains one of Bordeaux's less trafficked appellations, a pocket where serious winemaking persists without the fanfare of the Left Bank.
