Château Mazeris, Canon-Fronsac 

Location: on the limestone plateau of Canon (West of Pomerol)

Vineyard: 14 hectares (25 acres)

Varietals; 75% Merlot and 25% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc)

Total production: very small (5000 cases); the lesser quality is never bottled but sold in bulk or declassified

Owner: Christian Cornouaud

Press: "Produced from very old vines, it has an uncanny resemblance to the great Pomerol, Lafleur, at about one-seventh the price. Dense in color with an intense blackcurrant, plummy bouquet, great concentration, full body, and plenty of tannins, this is an amazing wine for drinking over the next 10-15 years. Join me in line for it!" Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate)
