About Château Fonroque 2019
Bottle (75cl)

Château Fonroque is a Grand Cru Classé, standing on a beautiful 22-hectare vineyard straddling the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion and on a foot of sandy clay slopes. The vineyard benefits from a planting dominated by Merlot (70%) and completed by Cabernet Franc (30%). Since 2006 the vineyard has been certified in organic agriculture and since 2008, certified in biodynamic agriculture.

Made from a blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, Château Fonroque 2019 is then aged in oak barrels (30% new barrels).
In the glass, Chateau Fonroque 2019 exhibits a beautiful purple color with ruby red highlights, and distils a beautiful bouquet of ripe, crushed black fruits coated in notes of dark chocolate, dried flowers, and various spices.
On the palate, Château Fonroque 2019 offers a moderate attack full of aromas of plums and cooked and jammy blueberries supported by a velvety tannic line. In the mid-palate, the fruity notes develop, expressing all their freshness, then a touch of spices emerges on the long and remarkably persistent finish.
