Once again, Château Fonroque proves to be a reliable choice this vintage. This flagship property of Saint-Emilion has long been farmed organically and biodynamically. This dual commitment has resulted in extraordinary success, crafting wines of delicate finesse.
Handled with tact and without overplaying, the 2023 vintage reveals fresh and floral aromatics with moderate concentration, and a supple, lively mid-palate. Fonroque's sincere flavors, along with its dynamic and lush balance, place it once again among the most exciting crus of the appellation.
Rated 91-93/100 by both RVF and Parker, this cru is one of the best deals of the vintage, delivering a "super performance," according to Parker.
