Vintage 2016

Chateau Fonroque, Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe

Product Code: VT0619RC

Tasting Notes

"A deep garnet colour. The nose is powerful and pleasant, promising of an already seducing vintage. Dry fruit aromas mingled with pot pourri, tobacco and tonka. Ample, the wine offers a controlled generosity. energy and tension recall Fonroqu’s terroir. Silky texture, lingering finish, well balanced and refined. Here is Fonroque’s personality, on the margin of a 2019. (August 2022)"
