Nicolas Dabudyk - Château Lariveau

Château Lariveau sits in Canon-Fronsac, a compact appellation within Bordeaux's Libournais region known for structured, mineral-driven reds. The winery produces Canon-Fronsac, a blend anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Malbec, wines that reflect the right-bank terroir's clay and limestone soils. Canon-Fronsac itself occupies elevated terrain above the Dordogne valley, where cooler microclimates and careful site selection yield wines with depth and aging potential. The blend's Cabernet Franc and Malbec components add textural complexity and dark fruit character to the Cabernet Sauvignon base, a hallmark of serious Libournais production. Wine Spectator has rated the Canon-Fronsac offering.
