Château Jeandeman

Fronsac Bordeaux. Mineral-driven Merlot and Cabernet Franc from clay-rich soils.

Château Jeandeman sits in Fronsac, the historic right-bank enclave of Libournais in Bordeaux. The estate works the region's clay and iron-rich soils, producing wines built on Merlot and Cabernet Franc—the traditional backbone of this corner of the appellation. La Chêneraie Fronsac, the flagship, blends Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot into a structured wine that has drawn assessment from Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator. The entry Fronsac cuvée, a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend, offers a more direct expression of the vineyard's character. Both wines reflect the mineral tension and dark-fruit intensity that define Fronsac's terroir—a region where clay soils and Atlantic influence shape wines of depth and grip rather than opulence.
