Château de la Rivière

Fronsac reds and Bordeaux whites from the Right Bank's iron-rich terroir.

Château de la Rivière sits in Fronsac, the Right Bank enclave within Bordeaux's Libournais region. The estate produces wines rooted in the classic Merlot-Cabernet blend tradition of the area, where clay and iron-rich soils shape wines of structure and depth. Aria Fronsac, the flagship red, marries Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot into a balanced expression of the appellation. The core Fronsac offering follows a similar varietal path, emphasizing the region's signature Malbec and Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. A white wine rounds the portfolio: Bordeaux Blanc, a dry blend of Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc that captures the crisp, mineral character typical of Bordeaux's white wines. The winery's releases have drawn assessment from Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Decanter.
