Producer Information
Château Mazeris is located in Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac in the Fronsadais on the right bank of the Bordeaux region. Red wines are made under the Canon-Fronsac AOC. Château Mazeris was built in 1769. The estate was bequeathed as part of the dowry of Jeanne-Modeste Couvrat to Jean-Baptiste de Cournuaud upon their marriage in 1805. Since then, Château Mazeris has produced wine in the hands of 9 successive generations of de Cournuauds. Owners: Patrick de Cournuaud (son of Christian de Cournuaud) and his sons, Jean and Matthieu. Vineyards: 19 hectares. A very fine site on the limestone plateau and côte in Saint Michel de Fronsac,’ (David Peppercorn MW (1991, p.560), in the heart of the Canon-Fronsac AOC. Its proximity to the confluent waters of both the Dordogne and the Isle Rivers add temperature moderation (cool/cold nights throughout the year). Soil structures are well suited to Merlot of which 12 hectares are planted on a south-facing chalk plateau above the Dordogne River. There are also 7ha on calcareous clay soils, one 3.5 ha slope facing east and one facing west. A small portion of the eastern slope is planted to Cabernet Franc, which accounts for a small percentage of the blend of each of the three labels (80% of Mazeris’ total production is Merlot.) Historically there was a high (25%) percentage of Malbec.
