Chateau Fontenil 2015

A refined Right Bank Bordeaux with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum, licorice, graphite, and cedar. Velvety tannins and vibrant acidity frame concentrated dark fruit, leading to a rich, elegant palate with remarkable balance and a persistent finish.

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

93 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of impeccably ripe cassis, blackberries and dark cherries create a beautifully fruit-focused bouquet. The palate is refined and pure, with layers of suave, polished tannins supporting rich dark cherry and blueberry flavors. Seamless and well-balanced, it is a wine of impressive purity and elegance. Best from 2020.

91 Points - Wine Spectator

Solidly built, with a core of steeped plum and black currant fruit that melds beautifully with notes of singed alder and smoldering tobacco. A subtle chalky minerality lingers through the finish, adding freshness, precision and length. Made from Merlot. Drink now through 2025. 3,516 cases made, with 500 cases imported.
