Château Fonroque St.-Émilion Grand Cru Classé AOC

2022 was a hot and dry year, characterized by consistent warmth without extreme peaks. A balanced ripening phase gave the grapes intensity, concentration, and at the same time astonishing freshness. Many compare this vintage to 2018, but 2022 is denser, more fruity, and yet approachable. On the nose, a complex, dark aroma with notes of black cherry, blackberry, and sweet cassis, accompanied by a hint of yellow fruit. The palate is powerful and compact, with precise black fruit, elegant limestone minerality, and silky-smooth tannins. A straightforward, balanced Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé with great potential, a true highlight in ten years. Delivered in a 6-bottle wooden case.
