Château Fonroque 2019

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2019 Fonroque has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of blackberries, minty cassis, licorice and spices. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, it’s a rich, generous, demonstrative wine that remains nicely balanced. Part of Fonroque’s biodynamically farmed holdings are located on Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau, and the rest on the slopes, with more clay and colluvium.
