LA PASSION DES TERROIRS

Château Fonroque Saint-Emilion grand cru 2019

- 92 points -

The 2019 Fonroque has a ripe, almost exotic bouquet with decadent red fruit, a little excessive perhaps. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, rounded and velvety in texture, one of the headiest Saint-Émilion crus that I have tasted - completely different to Alain Moueix's Pomerol cru Château Mazeyres. I just find this is missing a little acidity and race on the finish.
