Description
Château Fonroque wines are naturally rich and sophisticated. Clay provides power and depth. Limestone adds a distinct mineral character. Oaking is done minimally, with 30% aged in new large barrels and the remainder in either small barrels that have held at least one wine or small vats. The result is a wine focussed on fruit purity and finesse. The nose is vibrant, bursting with fresh red fruits, agrum, baking spice and violets. The palate is fresh and focussed, layered with delicious ripe plums, chocolate, cherries and liquorice. Very elegant, and will only improve with time.
