Note di degustazione
Taking air to show at its best, the 2023 Château Fonroque reveals damp earth, black olive, smoky herbs, and chocolate as well as a terrific core of red and black fruits. Based on 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc from limestone plateau and clay-limestone hillside soils and aged in 31% new French oak (the balance in once-used barrels, foudre, amphora, and tank), it's medium-bodied and nicely concentrated on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins and a great finish. There's a certain earthiness here, but it adds complexity and doesn't detract. It has the approachable elegance of the vintage and should keep for 15 years or more. Drink 2026-2041.

The 2023 Fonroque is redolent of dark red cherry, blood orange, chalk, mint and slate. Bold and punchy, with terrific persistence, Fonroque is a very complete wine. Floral top notes lift the finish. Readers will find an exquisite, elegant Saint-Émilion.
The 2023 Fonroque has a slightly smudged bouquet, dark berry fruit, touches of graphite and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well-judged acidity, relatively open-knit in style with a fluid, agreeable finish. This should drink well after just a couple of years in bottle.
Licorice, dark berries, wet chalk and ripe blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with round tannins. Concentrated, intense and precise, with defined dark fruit. 87% merlot and 13% cabernet franc. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
