Chateau Fontenil 2014

The 2014 Château Fontenil is a refined Fronsac with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, cedar, mocha, and subtle spice. Silky tannins, fresh acidity, and concentrated Merlot-driven fruit create a balanced, elegant palate with impressive depth and excellent maturity for current enjoyment.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck breast, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged Gouda, or herb-roasted root vegetables.

Vivid aromas of currants, strawberries and cut flowers follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and an integrated palate. Tight and fresh. Delicious. Drink now or hold.
